Don't think we have much to crow about on that score, Scotland being the home of the deep-fried Mars bar!
A Queen question for our British cousins. (actually everyone, but them, mostly)

As long as I get my haggis, a proper spicey one, then I'm a happy camper!

Can't resist... Nice would be very nice.
Spending a year in France is on my bucket list. Nice looks like just the ticket. 
I heard a theory on the French meal of escargot.
During the Revolution, the French were so poor that they had to eat anything they could just to survive. In true French style, they managed to convince themselves that eating bugs fromthe garden was a delicacy.
Yes, I've tried them, no, I didn't like them

Sure is...so is obesity, and they blame it on the fast-food joints, etc. instead of accepting the fact that they're eating themselves to death :/
Haggis is just wrong, pure and simple...it's just downright nasty...

Ahhh, I see you found our secret weapon. What few people realise is that "Hurricane" was actually the second-choice name for Hawker's alliterative fighter. Originally, it had been named the Haggis in deference to the delicacy beloved of cultured palates but loathed by others lacking in taste (no offence GrauGeist!). Unfortunately, rather like the Enigma secret, it was felt that a direct reference to "the secret weapon" would reveal too much information to the enemy, hence the name-change to Hurricane.

You know, I'm just full of s#it enough that I'm not sure if you aren't telling the truth.
Don't dissilusion me, however, if it isn't the truth.
I've never gotten over the Santa thing!

Drink down a little Coca-cola, and burp, kiddo, it will feel better!
With Haggis, its usually a wee dram o' whiskey. Or is it a wee dram of haggis and a large drink of whiskey?

Hey, don't forget the Normans and 1066! The Normans weren't really French were they? The people that gave their name to Normandy, a region in northern France, were descended from them norse viking conquerors of that territory.....
See, we had had our '66, but you don't hear us go on about it!
Just to derail this thread even further!

The accursed Normans eh...well, some one once said that Britain had gained more from the invaders than by invading others.
Mind you, where would the colonies have been without our gentle guiding hand?

Have to agree there old boy, sometimes a gentle (cough-cough), helping can do a lot to help, to stear the lost and unguided people on the right track...
Escargot if made right, is great! I love it and can eat them by the dozen.
Edit: My wife the biologist wants to remind you that they are not bugs.
