Not his best film but, like Scottish food,sometimes funny :LOL:(y) for example the Guga. A Gannet which boiled or roasted is like rotting duck stewed in cod liver oil and salt. The taste is bad enough - but apparently the smell as it's boiled is truly really, really, really bad, it's regarded as the worst thing you'll ever smell this side of Hell .

Bet it doesn't smell worse than an Arbroath Kippers' Fanny......:yuck:
 
My dog wouldn't eat that and he eats other dogs's ***** when out on a walk. Actually if you compressed it into a tube, sliced it and added some boot polish you have blood pudding.

I've ate that particular brand of stovies and if you shut your eyes it is rather pleasant on the pallet,with a slight after taste of *****!

My only almost experience with Scottish cooking. When my wife and I were dating, soon after my Mom passed, she decided to to make her future father-in-law a treat, having spotted a Scottish cookbook in the house. She opened it randomly and the first ingredient she saw was "one sheep's head, slightly singed." That was the end of the initiative.

That's the country boys traumatised now Colin ;)
Kidding aside we Scots are blessed with some of the finest produce in the world including Aberdeen Angus beef, wonderful seafood, Ayrshire potatoes, raspberries from Tayside, delicious cheeses to the nectar of the gods Scotch Whisky and not forgetting Haggis which at its best is World Class.
Oh! and of course some of the finest scenery on this or any other world (y) A personal favourite place being the Beach at Mellon Udrigle in Wester Ross, not too easy to get to but if any of you ever find yourself anywhere near Ullapool make the detour and your breath will be taken away. (you can get Aultbea Fruit Pudding in the nearby village of the same name).

Carl the midges are just for tourists, never affect me! Just near Glen Coe my good lady wanted out to check the scenery. Seconds later she was back in the truck as part of a midge feast. I just put the A/C on to icy cold and drove off all the while watching her suffer till the A/C killed them off. Poor wee beasts were doing no harm to anyone, well they never touched me.

Particularly discerning Carl, its not know as "The Glen Of Weeping" for nothing. Some think its a Cambell MacDonald thing but its really about the midges.

Been driven to total distraction while fishing so much so I had to dip ma heed in the watter "I kid you not":eek:
 
Stand your ground Carl, they are tiny, cant do much harm. The Glenmorangie sound jst the job but they will come back when your sober.

His portrayal of Charlie's father is worth the price of the movie, though. From his "Scottish Hall of Fame" and "Hen--Rrrrrrollers are on" to the Pentavirate and "Fine, go, ye've stayed yer hour!" and "We've got a piper doone!" Of course, it's an extension of his SNL material, like "All Things Scottish", and "Phil McCracken, Scottish Therapist" (with Patrick Stewart).

" 'Cause if it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!!"

Prost!
