    A red herring is a very smoked fish, cured enough to last on long sea voyages, they were used to feed slaves & ironically have found their way into Carribean cooking.

    Digressing a little here. My daughter told me a story today ,it came from her friends mother,who was a School Teacher some years ago. The school was in the Capital of Scotland (Glasgow):dbgrtmb:.
    It was a parents night at the school, meeting with the teacher to see the childrens progress or lack of progress.
    the Teacher asked the parents "How is John doing at his home with his Homework"??. the mother said "He seems
    to be having problems with his GIZINTY":scratch:. The teacher looked at the mother and said" excuse me what do you mean ,GIZINTY??. Reply from the mother was "well you know what i mean 2 GIZINTY 6 three times:DOH::DOH:.

    GIZINTY is the older Glasgow Language for,( Goes Into ).:loll:

    My Wife Uses This Saying When She Encounter's A Single Magpie :th_scifD36:.

    "Good Morning MR Magpie where Is Your Lady Friend ?":th_scifD36:

    It Is Supposed To Be Bad Luck If You Do not Ask This Question When You See A Single Magpie :th_scifD36:.

    My Problem is , How does She Know Its A Mr Magpie :D.
