Accents?

My New England accent was very amusing to guys I met in the service from other parts of the country...

The whisky on haggis, that I am familiar with, was on fire! Nothing like a haggis supper from the chippie though - what I always get the very first day I'm back in Scotland.

Do you like black pudding as well? I like that better than haggis.
 
I love black pudding...........my father was a Scotsman, every Sunday when he wasn't working he cooked breakfast and black pudding was always included.:)

LOL! Black pudding is also called blood pudding. Black pudding is a blend of onions, pork fat, oatmeal, flavourings - and blood (usually from a pig). As long as animals have been slaughtered to provide food, blood sausages like black pudding have been in existence.

I thought that was something called blood pudding or blood sausage. OOPS! I see you did mention the blood sausage. When I read black pudding, I kind of thought I was on the wrong trail, blame that Shirley woman. LOL

It's called black or blood pudding. I hear it called black pudding much more often.

I've seen it featured on a few shows in the past, I can't recall which ones, but on one of the shows the guest wasn't looking forward to the meal on other shows the people were salivating in anticipation of the meal.

I like it okay but wouldn't call it a favourite food. It is often served with breakfast at B & B's here, and a friend of ours will put it on top of pork and serve it with gravy.
 
The Midland for me. Hm. I didn't know that.

Whatsisname, the Father of My Children, has the most perfectly accentless speech I ever heard. It could have something to do with the fact that he spent some time in broadcasting school back in the day, where any accent from anywhere was drummed right out of the students. It didn't matter where he worked...Upper Peninsula, West Virginia, New Mexico, nobody ever guessed where he was from.

For me, nobody ever said I sounded like a Yooper; mostly people would say I sounded like I was either from Canada or Virginia. My mother corrected us whenever we spoke "Yooper" because she hated the sound. Canada? Well, there are those who call the UP "South Canada". Maybe I learned that from my grandparents, who emigrated from Canada. But Virginians? They say things like "hoose" for "house" and "aboot" for "about". Mother would have raised Cain if I'd done that.
