hello Albanians ..

our family was up Cohoes after the war ..Uncles were all soldiers the wives made uniforms bullets etc and Aberdeen got bombed ..the bad way .

usually eth Uncs drank whatever was wet ..my first stout was ..during college my uncle handed me a 4 zo ..and then they blended it ..after that my standard was a12 oz of whatever bud genny ..ballantyne ..and 3-4 oz xtra stout and maybe a lime slice ..usually that beat anything in a bottle ..McEwens was a favorite ..but harder to find usually the Latham beverage store had that ..and MacAndrews ..which to me was about the best ..Fischer/Alscace from France was not bad either .

our chum who chef'd in schools ..had meat pie machine and normally cranked out Scottish pies periodically ..sometimes we got from ..Stop n Shop over Adams Mass international section ..from Jersey I think ..you have to call ..else ..ask a local scottish shop ..

I've added family recipes before ..stovies ..soups ..haddock ..fish n chips ..etc

Scotties fish shop was at Rt 9 and 155 ..the it went down the pipe ..they'd brought over family from Aberdeen to run it ..and it was very popular ..difft than ..ted's .
