The last time we were up in Scotland, sis took us to a very expensive Thai restaurant in Edinburgh. It had superb views overlooking Princes Street. She's very generous and kind, and insisted on paying for us all (her two daughters as well)

But we'd never been to a Thai restaurant before. The meals seemed to have blinking flowers scattered all over them, and even our lemonades had petals floating about in the tumblers.

The flavours were strange, and to be honest we ate everything politely but really didn't like any of it.

The bill was eye-watering. All that for flower heads and unidentifiable meat swimming in various weird sauces!

As we came out, we looked longingly at Jimmy Chung's Buffet over near the entrance to Waverley Station. I'd have given anything for even a McDonald's!
