Today, Scotland celebrates St. Andrews’ Day! We’re bringing back the Scottish Saltire for a few days to celebrate.

History and Legend

Feasts honouring St. Andrew dates back to the year 1000 AD, and the holiday has been observed throughout Scotland for more than a millennium. But he didn’t formally become Scotland's patron saint until 1320, when the Declaration of Arbroath was signed, legally declaring Scotland’s independence. Ever since, St. Andrew has grown to be a vital component of Scottish culture. The ancient town of St. Andrews was given its name because it is purported to be the ultimate resting place of St. Andrew.

When: From November 30th (11:00 GMT) until December 3rd (07:00 GMT)

In civilized countries this dish is widely considered as crime against humanity.
I am not sure, but iirc correctly French chefs requested to apply the death penalty for cooking meat this way.

Have a good one!

PS: I still enjoy a well made BLT sandwich…

The Fr*nch kill people who are richer than them, dislike anyone who’s better than them, and loath the British. They do not deserve to be listened to.
