Just a pint? Sounds a bit weedy to me.

Thanks everyone! Quite a big mess to remember this question of meals around the world. Now... what's the difference between "tea" and "high tea"?? (Confuse me a bit more!! )

I developed a taste for haggis and neeps and taters when I was in Scotland. Truth be told, I found Scottish cuisine to be far more palatable than that which we were served in England. (I was in the minority in my group, however; no one else enjoyed black pudding or haggis.) But I found haggis to be a hot and hearty meal...something akin to a nice slab of meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
