    I’m willing to try it. They did fish and chips right. I’m a white dude of mostly Scottish decent. It’s probably right up my alley.

      Meaning your great-great-grandfather looked at Scotland at some point in his life. I will never understand the American intense desire to be something other than what they are. You’re American and that’s fine for the most part You’re not anything else. Culture is culture, if you don’t brought up in it you’re not part of it.

        You just used, “No true Scotsman…” in its original usage.

        My parents took a DNA test and that’s what it said, so I didn’t mean to offend you.

        I hope whatever is upsetting you so much passes, amigo. Chill out. No one cares.

      Fish and Chips is one of the great culinary masterpieces, and so perfectly, elegantly simple, like Italian Red Sauce. I’ll give the Brits full credit on that one.
