Och, Aqsa Mahmood Is Such A Fine Scottish Name

Hard on the heels of Scotland voting to remain in union with the United Kingdom, Tam links to a fascinating article of how a woman has left Scotland and off and joined ISIS and vow not to come back to the UK except to raise the banner of Islam.

"Gotta go 2 #beheading, C U l8r"

That whole multiculturalism thing vs a melting pot seems to be really turning out citizens with a solid British identity now doesn't it? To be fair, there's also women mentioned in the article allegedly from Chicago - agin the whole throwing away of a melting pot and unified American identity in return for non-judgmental multicultural relativism hasn't been great here either, but Europe seems to be bearing the brunt for now.

Scotland Remains In The UK For Now

Here I was, looking forward to the imminent rebuilding of Hadrian's Wall.

Not by the British to keep the Scots out mind you.

But by the SNP to keep the Scots IN.

The Horror, The Horror.

At an ethnic food aisle in a grocery store, my eye caught something that caused my mind to do a double-take and the stomach a belly flop:

Yes, there exists Haggis, vegetarian, canned.

I can understand the cultural necessity of eating Haggis, even something as scary as canned Haggis.

But vegetarian Haggis? The mind boggles. How you could even make Haggis vegetarian considering that

Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours.

Take all the animal parts out and you've basically got a spiced oatmeal with onions that no one in their right mind would eat.

Vegetarian haggis. Ye got tae be kidding.

Let's go eat at a Scottish-Style Vegetarian restaurant said nobody, ever.

Wow. Many thanks to Tam for the massive Tamalanche that has happily fallen upon this post. Welcome to all, have a look around, and I hope you find this blog to your liking.
