Scottish Treats!

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Headed downtown to "Things Celtic" this afternoon because....drum roll please..... they started stocking British/Irish food!  The highlight was of course the importation of Irn Bru - and even better Diet Irn Bru (John and I agree, we only drink our calories if they contain alcohol)!  For those who haven't had Irn Bru - it's like orange soda, but with the taste of orange St. Joseph's aspirin.  Unfortunately "Mr. Celiac" (aka my hubby) couldn't eat a lot of the menu, including Tayto's crisps (in the yummy flavors of Prawn Cocktail, Wuster Sauce and Smokey Bacon), scone mixes and oat cakes.  But we did pick up bottles of Diet Irn Bru, tins of Haggis (tastes better than it sounds) and a huge box of Barry's Irish Breakfast Tea.  And for Kyla a book of fairy tattoos.  A good day!

(they were giving away samples that kept her entertained - and being my daughter she preferred the "Butter-Mints" to the Smarties/M&Ms)
