Post by: Bricktop on June 16, 2017, 09:51:51 PM
Ach, I thought not...see yoo, here's some piccies from Edinburgh and the highlands for ye.



Edinburgh Castle...

The famous Biddy Mulligans...no idea what its famous for, but they pull a good pint...



(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4222/34965402290_07c4763628_k.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4222/3496%20...%203628_k.jpg%22%3Ehttps://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4222/34965402290_07c4763628_k.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)



The famous Castle Hill school. Why is it famous, you ask? Because it is opposite the cafe JK Rowlings sat in whilst draughting Harry Potter, and this school inspired Hogwarts.

Scottish architects were somewhat adventurous to say the least. This is a Doctor's surgery. It used to be a Courtroom where witches were tried and burned in the forecourt.

A small holding cell in the Royal Mile, where debtors were held whilst being publically humiliated.

Very old apartments in an area known as writer's corner. Many Scottish authors and poets lived in this precinct.

The Writers Guild, where many a famed wordsmith would sit and write, mingle and drink. Known to have been frequented by Burns and other Scottish authors.

:beurk: [size=150]Address to a Haggis[/size] :beurk:



By Robert Burns



Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,

Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!

Aboon them a' ye tak your place,

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Weel are ye worthy o' a grace

As lang's my arm.



The groaning trencher there ye fill,

Your hurdies like a distant hill,

Your pin wad help to mend a mill

In time o need,

While thro your pores the dews distil

Like amber bead.



His knife see rustic Labour dight,

An cut you up wi ready slight,

Trenching your gushing entrails bright,

Like onie ditch;

And then, O what a glorious sight,

Warm-reekin, rich!



Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:

Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,

Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve

Are bent like drums;

The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,

'Bethankit' hums.



Is there that owre his French ragout,

Or olio that wad staw a sow,

Or fricassee wad mak her spew

Wi perfect scunner,

Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view

On sic a dinner?



Poor devil! see him owre his trash,

As feckless as a wither'd rash,

His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,

His nieve a nit;

Thro bloody flood or field to dash,

O how unfit!



But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,

The trembling earth resounds his tread,

Clap in his walie nieve a blade,

He'll make it whissle;

An legs an arms, an heads will sned,

Like taps o thrissle.



Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,

And dish them out their bill o fare,

Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware

That jaups in luggies:

But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,

Gie her a Haggis

 

Anyone else got the dry heaves?

It's an Easter delicately among Italians. When my grandparents were alive we used to have on the dinner table every Easter.... :beurk:



Funny thing is, I don't remember anyone besides my grandfather and one or two of my great uncles eating it.



I can't even look at pictures of it without getting queasy. :beurk:

Beondegi Silkworm Larvae

(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://listverse.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/800px-silkworm_snack.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://listverse.wpengine.netdna-cdn.co%20...%20_snack.jpg%22%3Ehttp://listverse.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/800px-silkworm_snack.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)

Beondegi is another Korean street food. It comprises steamed or boiled silkworm pupae, which are seasoned. As well as being a popular snack on the streets, Beondegi is often served with alcohol. When you find a vendor selling silkworm pupae, you can be fairly sure that roast crickets are also not too far away. This is one of those dishes that take a little steel to try for the first time, but when you do you can appreciate why it is such a popular snack.
