Let's just say, mussels, mayo on fries and a tripel is one of my favorite meals on the planet.

You're going to need to get a court order and some DNA, because I'm denying it until I see the test. HA!
I have the same "badger stripes" in my beard as you.. and i'm pretty sure at one of the next SQL in the city conferences I can get an account manager to steal your knife and fork for DNA.
in a nice way, everyone in this chat room is one of your children (DBA DNA) - which makes jeff my brother (not happy) 🙂 lol

We shouldn't schedule time to talk about food. We need to schedule time to go eat food!!!
YUM!!! I'll second that while I'm having seconds!

Mayo on fries? That's where it comes from? Belgium? I freakin' love mayo on fries. Better yet, Miracle Whip or Kosher pickle juice. Since I also spent a good part of my life in New England, I also have a real appreciation for mussels and "little necks". My brother and I were augmenting our incomes with Quahogs... we were divers and we were equipped with 92 cubic foot tanks. We built an on-board sorter so we didn't have to "ring" the "hogs" for size. The "little necks" (the ones you make Clams Casino with) and the "chowda" hogs (we called them "bigs") were each going for 27 cents a piece. We could go places the "rakers" could never go because of the "hardware" (pretty hefty rocks) on the bottom. The water was usually never more than about 12 feet deep and so we could go for almost 3 hours on each tank if we "sucked the bottoms dry". We usually came in riding pretty low (full boat) and generally dug out between 1800 and 2400 "little necks" and a 1000 or two of "bigs" each in just one good day on 2 tanks each.
We found a "hot spot" with very little "hardware" on the bottom down on the west coast of Gould Island, which is owned by the U.S. Navy (they also fire MK 48 heavyweight torpedoes from the island to test them). We got hauled out of the water one day by a group of Navy Seals. The reason? I hadn't realized that our sorter looked like a multi-tube mortar launcher. 😀 We all had a great laugh on that one. We also gave them enough "little necks" (really good raw and in Clams Casino) and "bigs" (to make "stuffies" and "chowda" with) for their upcoming Family Clambake on the beach the next day. From then on, we had "armed guards" keeping an eye on our boat while we were "down under".

I'm planning on doing another belly this summer when I do 2 pork shoulders and 6 chickens for my daughter's grad party. She's undecided on the smoked macaroni and cheese. I'm thinking of trying my hand at a beef brisket for the first time, too. Heck, I might do a pork loin at the same time for Jeff.
I'm hoping to get the Smokey Mountain to my parents' house and get the whole clan and the in-laws round and do a whole pork shoulder for them. It will be good to able to cook for everybody and we've not got the space.
I got a packer-cut brisket point over the summer and got good results. Not as juicy as it should be but definitely better than I've got with even large pieces of the British cut. The problem with it is that it's too big, hard to get hold of and expensive to practice with often. I can get whole shoulder of pork from the butcher up the road with a day to two's notice. Packer cut brisket means trawling internet butchers and timing deliveries for when there's somebody at home. If it goes wrong it's a lot of money wasted and if it goes right, there's an awful lot of beef for two of us. I'm not quite confident enough to do one for the clan yet either.

Careful with that 'e' there Mike. It's normally 'whisky' you have with haggis.

One of my favourites is Monkey Shoulder. I'm also very partial to Aberfeldy. My Whisky collection is getting a little low at the moment though, down to about 12 bottles, and they're almost all only about 1/4 full. :'( Should have asked for more at Christmas. :/

Yep. First time in Scotland. I'm working in the hotel for a while, then I'm heading out this afternoon to take in a little of the town.
