Not exactly the origin of a food, but an ode from the country of origin of a food: Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftan o’ the Puddin-race! Aboon them a’ ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy of a grace As lang’s my arm The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, You 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-reeking, 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; Then 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 sconner, 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’ bluidy 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 mak it whissle; An’ legs, an’ arms an’ heads will sned, Like taps o’ thrissle Ye pow’rs wha mak mankind your care, An’ dish them out their bill o’fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies; But, if ye wish her gratefu’ pray’r, Gie her a Haggis!

I know one thing, French fries don't originate from France but from Belgium. So they should've been called Belgian fries! Yes I know Julie, I was there for the first one but ended to be second. LOL I cut no slack on those things. A bit over weight but OK. |

I read one time that the prisoners (1600's) in New England were fed Lobster as a cheap and easy meal. Well folks let be bring the butter, I guess bead and water was out at that time. Must have took too long. LOL True or not I have no clue. |

Must have took too long. LOL True or not I have no clue. A friend of mine who grew up many years ago on PEI (where the best Canadian lobster comes from) told me that they ate lobster when they didn't have anything else. His mother would tell him not to tell his friends at school they were having lobster again - she didn't want people to think they were poor. |

Surimi is a product made from Alaska pollock that resembles crab in texture, appearance and flavor and is a lot cheaper. Oh I like cracking crab, might take 30 minutes but boy it's good. My friend makes a seafood salad with two of them that is to die for. Throw out the weight watchers for the night. |

I cannot eat any type of shellfish as it brings me out in Hives. That is large red and purple blotches at all my joints. I inherited the condition from my mother. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
