National Bovine's European Vacation II: Facebook Status Edition

[spectralbovine]

Given that I have yet to do a more extensive post about my adventures in Budapest and Barcelona, this may realistically be all you get regarding my adventures in England and Scotland (I haven't even finished writing down my notes from the trip). But my Facebook status updates do summarize my trip quite well!

I enjoyed reading your updates on Facebook -- they were very entertaining! I'm glad you had a wonderful trip!

I'm SOOO glad that you got to experience Beans and Toast! It's my favorite breakfast. I'm noticing a lack of Fish & Chips or Battered Mushrooms with salt and sauce. You'll have to try it on your next go.

I did have fish and chips, but I never encountered battered mushrooms.

Did you get them in England or Scotland....actually, did you get them in Edinburgh, specifically, or elsewhere? The sauce is a particularly Edinburgh thing. It is to me what Diet Dr. Pepper is to You-Know-Who!
It used to be fairly cheap to bring into the US...then, they began charging for a second checked bag...and finally, not letting you bring liquids on flights. I'm not usually brave enough to pack a vinegar sauce in a flimsy container with all of my clothes!

Are you talking about the brown sauce? I did get that at a place in Scotland, and I liked it! It was kind of like soy sauce. For fish.

You're a trailblazer in the UK! And *I'm* jealous that you got to go to Scotland too! Sorry the weather was blech. Did they let you take home a redhead? I don't care about hair color but I was thinking about picking up my own Scotsman while I'm over there.

Cluedo: The Card Game (discovered in a St. Andrews thrift store between the wedding and the reception)

Aw, you went to St Andrews? I lived there for four years. Haven't been back since 2008. I miss it so much.
