Greetings Gents...

[Donnie]

Good to have ya' Snow Dog!

[Snow Dog]

Thanks for the warm welcome, I look forward to chatting with you gents.
In answer to some of the various questions... I was born near Glenfinnan{north end of Loch Shiel},to the clan Donald{my birth name is Tarod MacDonald}, but since my mother was unmarried{a stoning offense at the time}, I was adopted by my mothers cousin who was,at the time, married to an american G.I.

I have,and do, go back as often as possible,though it has bee a couple of years this time...and hopefully next time I return t'will be for good, nothing personal, but I just don't like living in the US, my personality doesn't seem to fit here...

Have never tried grits, with or without Haggis, but it sounds just strange enough to be the sort of thing I'd enjoy.

Since I was brought to the states at such an early age{11} I have almost no accent left, and since we traveled so much when I was young, and lived so many places, I actually have almost no discernable accent at all... unless you count pronunciation...and even then you have to be Scottish to recognize it. Although when I visit home,the brough kicks right back in...

if you like kilt related stories, look for my post in the "general kilt talk" area... or on the kiltmen.com forum.

and remember gents, this is a revolution were involved in... and this time, the revolution will NOT be televised!

I'm trying to imagine how a scottish brogue and a southern drawl sound mixed together.! Or how about Haggis and grits.

Haggis and grits -what an interesting combination!

Welcome Snow Dog and as a advid comsumer of grits, I recommend them with two eggs sunny-side up and two big slices of fried livermush. Now thats some good eatin.

None taken DNB, got a great chuckle out of it...

What are grits anyway, they look pre-eaten to me, but then I happen to love a good haggis...no runny eggs though, thats just nasty...
I may just be picky, but I tend to like my food cooked, not just warmed slightly...
Never even heard of fried livermush, must be regional...

Side note: if anyone is from the Oklahoma City,OK area, and knows of any good Gaelic/Celtic related happenings I'd appreciate a heads-up....Thanx

Grits are coarsely ground corn, Sort of a corn
oatmeal. It tends to be a southern dish. Hank
is right though, they really do go well with
shrimp.

Livermush is similar to liver pate` or liver pudding.
Although it tastes much better that either of those.
It is a southern dish as well. As DNB said put
them together with eggs(I prefer scrambled) and you have a great breakfast.

Grits are also one of the only foods in which you end up with more than you started with.

Grits is the corn version of porridge.

Porridge is what makes the Scots so fierce in battle.

As a side note, it has been a challenge to get my French wife to enjoy the blessed oats in the morning. They only use it horse feed.
