Jet Lag and Scottish cuisine

Hi everyone, Here are a few links that I thought would be worthwhile for us:

Also, start making sure you are getting a full night's sleep up to the time of our departure, and be taking your Vitamin C! Our bodies will be under the stress of travel, jet lag, physical work, (not to mention Scottish cuisine!) so let's take care of ourselves as much as we can!

Deep Fried ________(Fill In The Blank)
And a word on the cuisine of the Scots. Joking aside, be prepared for a diet that is quite different from that of the central coast of California. Fried food is in abundance, and the cost of fresh vegetables is high. Organic food is very hip, but much more expensive, so we won't be eating too much fresh organic produce at the YWAM base.  There is greater attention nationally on the health risks of the fried food diet, but even so, it comes as a shock if you are not prepared for it.
And yes, that is deep-fried pizza.
But also be prepared for some wonderful surprises, especially when eating out, from the sea bass to the roasts and the many different desserts, which collectively are known as "pudding". As in, "What shall we eat for pudding?" "I don't know, how about ice cream?" For the pudding course, you'll have the chance to try things like millionaire's shortbread, trifle, banoffee pie (banana & toffee, quite good!), spotted dick, treacle tart, something called tablet which is so sweet your teeth are in serious danger, something else called rock, and of course regular shortbread. Good thing there is lots of physical work to counterbalance the puddings!
Artisan breads, preserves & cheeses and farmer's markets are gaining in popularity. Scotland is known for its preserves (marmalade was invented in Dundee, if I'm not mistaken) and the central region grows many different varieties of berries. Be sure to sample some while we are there! Also try not to pass up a 'cream tea', which is tea and all the accompanying sugary gooey delights you can imagine.
You'll find in the UK that just as here we have the neighborhood taqueria, where we can go to grab a burrito, the same thing goes there with Indian food. If you want to eat Mexican food while we are there, you'll have to go to Glasgow and eat at a fancy sit down restaurant. If you just want to eat fairly cheaply and quickly, you step into a curry 'take away' ('to go') and grab an order of chicken korma and naan. In the UK there is a definite influence from this part of the world*, in the same way that Mexican culture plays a big part of Californian cuisine. 

*A side note: watch and listen to see if you can spot people from India, Pakistan, etc referred to as 'Asians'. The first time I heard this I expected to see Japanese or Korean people, not people from India. Of course this is because I was viewing the world through my California lens.  'Asian gangs' described in the newspaper referred to people of Indian or Pakistani descent, not roving gangs of Scottish-Japanese youth!
