Not this morning but my brother makes haggis and is threatening me with it when I go visit him. So far he hasn't mentioned porridge with salt but he has talked about blood pudding.

Black pudding is ok (with a full English breakfast), but not Scottish in origin and i seem to recall reading something about the origins of haggis not being Scottish - anyway, food transcends all cultures - most seem to have black sausage / blood pudding / boudin noir so who made it first is not important (but worth arguing over

Does anything give you the idea that your brother is not too keen on your visits?

The man will eat anything. And insist it's so wonderful, everyone else should eat it too.

I'd suggest his claims that its all wonderful is due to the alcohol consumption up there - wouldn't you want to be "three sheets to the wind" when you're eating such things?

What about deep fried mars bars? He's never mentioned those? That really is stomach turning!

Ah, i see. I am the youngest of 3 - 2 older sisters and they used to wind me up something rotten, so for the opposite reason, I'd plump for younger. Bet Debby will say they are twins!

This is a small lake in the Rift Valley - very nice hotel there where i always order roast duck for lunch and lamb chops for dinner - EVERY single night. Things are a bit tight these days, so i have not been there for a couple of years. This is kinda cheating, cos its from the UK, but i thought you'd appreciate that one Phil.

Morning BertS - yeah i do have rock oysters here in Nairobi, but only from certain eateries. All that seafood! - the thought is killing me!

Me too...
CTKen said:
Indeed. When staying on the coast here in Kenya, we used have fishermen come to the cottages with fresh fish (i.e. literally just caught) and that used to be a treat - slapped on a BBQ, some salad, bottle of white wine...

Thanks BertS - twas very nice, but its 2 hours to Gordon's o'clock! Day time drinking gets me into all sorts of trouble! Good morning Sir Sour. Actually, it would be easier (for me) to call WV a Volkswagon car name (Polo, Golf, Passat, Sirocco (on those flatulent days)). Which one do you prefer WV?

I empathize with you completely. I have one sister 16 years older than me and another 12 years older than me. My oldest sister is an angel here on earth. The other not so much - to the point that I severed all contact with her on the day we buried our mother.
