TRYING NEW THINGS!

You would all be so proud of me! I have been trying so many new things here. For lunch I ate Black Pudding (look it up and you will understand)-- very good though.
For supper I went to the pub that is attached to the hotel. I had lemonade (which is clear), Guinness battered fish (which was half of a fish), chips (fries), and ready for it.......mushy peas. I had to try them. They are pretty good. It is like split pea soup only boiled down so it is as thick as mashed potatoes with lentils and no meat. They aren't very seasoned so after some salt and pepper it was pretty good. I don't think I'd would want to eat them all the time but now and then would be OK.
Both the Black Pudding and Mushy Peas are veeerrryyy Scottish.

PS-- No ranch dressing for the chips so don't get to excited!
PSS-- Another weird thing is that pubs here don't have bar stools. Everybody stands at the bar. I suppose if they get too drunk to stand then they cut them off. =)
