The Scots were proud of their historical alliance
with the French, which brought haute rather than
oat cuisine to that blasted part of the world.

How much of that stayed, though....? :)

The Scots think a lot.

Jim Weller seemed to think so, too... :)

Maybe he's part Scot?

It turns out I am! A cousin has been working on our family tree, I
thought I was 1/4 German but the son of the German ancestor married
a Scottish immigrant's daughter and all the men down the line
married English-Canadian women while maintaining the German
surname. I am 1/16 Scottish and just 1/16 German. But I attribute my
current taste in childhood comfort food to growing up in an
neighbourhood that was half Scottish and half Irish.

Those neighbourhoods were quite separate in the past due to religion.
It was said that one half of the people would show up for a wedding
or a funeral but everyone came out to help re-build if a barn or a
house burned down. As well the Protestant Dutch immigrants went to
the Scottish side and the Polish Catholic immigrants tended to move
into the Irish neighbourhood. Of course it's not like that anymore.

In that case, you quite likely are some sort of cousin to me... (G)
Although, I have more German, and no Canadian (that I know of)... But
plenty of Scottish, and English (and a bunch other stuff including
French, Dutch and Swiss....)

But I attribute my current taste in childhood comfort food to growing
up in an neighbourhood that was half Scottish and half Irish.
Those neighbourhoods were quite separate in the past due to religion.
It was said that one half of the people would show up for a wedding
or a funeral but everyone came out to help re-build if a barn or a
house burned down.

That's not all that bad a deal... they were all neighborly, even if they weren't all family... ;)

As well the Protestant Dutch immigrants went to
the Scottish side and the Polish Catholic immigrants tended to move
into the Irish neighbourhood. Of course it's not like that anymore.

I could see that making sense... and things aren't nearly so separated
out any more.... :)

All White Europeans are! And all the rest are probably in-laws.

That's not all that bad a deal... they were all neighborly

It didn't seem awful at all. There was no real animosity between the
two groups.

The world will be a nicer place when all its children are a medium

True, and if not yet, certainly at some point... ;)

Which was a very good thing....

Theoretically.... Although I'm sure that there will still be way too
many things to bicker about....
