Suggestions please, for a four line quote from a Scottish traditional song about food! Wanted for printing on a tasteful menu of a tasteful Ayrshire Coast hotel!

How about:-

And then in came the maister
And gave me goodly ale
Sayin' Yer welcome tae yer brose Gud man
Likewise yer breid and kale

(from "Tae the Begging I Will Go")

Curmudgeon here.

From "Blythesome Bridal:"

And there will be fadges and brochen
With fouth of good gabbock of skate
Powdowdie and drammock and crowdie
And caller nowtfeet in a plate.
And there will be partens and buckies
And whitings and spaldings enew.
And singit sheepheads and a haggis
Abd scadlips to sup til ye spew.

And there will be lapper'd milk kebbucks
And sowens and farles and baps
With swats and weel scaped paunches
And brabdy in stoups and in caps;
And there will be meal kail and castocks
And skink to sup till you rive,
And roasts to roast on a brander
Of flowks that were taken alive.

Bon Appetite -- Tom
