99.0. "S Mairg a ni tarcius air isiadh !" by EAYV05::SHARP (Drew Sharp - AYR Data Centre,Scotland) Mon Nov 24 1986 11:49

    It's St Andrews day on 30th November (Patron Saint of Scotland).
    Need anymore of an excuse to get the scotch out ?
    
    BTW Our cafeteria has decided to make this a Scottish week with
    such delicacies as "Cock a Leekie soup", Clouttie dumplings, Forfar
    Bridies, Roastit Bubbly Jock, and various other goodies , would
    there be a demand for some of these recipes ?

    I reckon there'd be quite a demand for such delicacies here.
    Grilled cheeses do get boring.  By the way, I take it that
    Scotland doesn't have "Le Tobin" Food Services.  You're really
    missing something :vo

     I know about cock-a-leakie, but I can't believe they make soup
     out of it.

    Drew, are those genuine Scottish delicacies :-)?   I shudder to
    think what would happen to us if Tobin or Saga or one of the other
    food services decided to treat us to a week of Scots food.  They
    are challenged by macaroni and cheese.  
    
    George, you're lucky to get grilled cheese.  We don't even have
    a working grill in our facility, just cold sandwiches, vending
    machines, and steamed food brought in from somewhere...something
    to do with the plumbing...

99.4Where's the Haggis?TSC01::MAILLARDTue Nov 25 1986 02:405
    What!? A scottisch meal without haggis? What do you take the whisky
    with, then?
    (really, my only experience with haggis was so hot that without the
    whisky my mouth would probably still be burning...)

    Sounds like your cafeterias are really first class, excuse me while
    I chuckle, our cafetria is really quite good , btw the Gaelic heading
    means
    
    "FOOLISH IS HE THAT DESPISES FOOD"
    
    
    I don't think that the guy was thinking about cheese sandwiches
    at the time , Haggis, that's on the menu for thursday,and I'll be
    staying well away from it. I thought I'd put in todays menu just
    to upset you.

    Note the prices , the cafeteria is very heavily subsidised , the
    plant is 5 mile from AYR, nothing else around and we only get 45
    mins for lunch , so it has to be good and cheap to get people to
    work here.

    You don't know how good Tobin's really is until you've contracted
    a case of "Tobin's Food Poison".... I'm trying to think of something
    that they made that I liked... and I can't come up with anything.

Has anyone managed to figure out which language the title is in or
what it means?
