Maybe because if you appreciate whisky too young, you don't live to an old age!<br />Doodlebugs can be enjoyed at any age. In fact they can be enjoyed especially by those with dentures - handmade small balls of gooey sweet chocolate stuff rolled in coconut. A poor man's chocolate truffle but still about 200 calories per mouthful!Caro Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499318515241879831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-62542075196068897802013-01-12T06:15:24.117-05:002013-01-12T06:15:24.117-05:00At the risk of sounding ignorant, what's a doo...At the risk of sounding ignorant, what's a doodlebug?Kat Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115380745293826767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-11384325208148908912013-01-12T02:04:40.482-05:002013-01-12T02:04:40.482-05:00Leighton, I'm asking myself the same thing...t...Leighton, I'm asking myself the same thing...this would either be a very good, or a very bad time!

Lovely post - when I first visited Scotland I realized that if I had not been Icelandic I would have liked to be Scottish. You guys seem a bit goofy like us. Well, maybe even more so.<br /><br />yrsaYrsa Sigurdardottirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889410114439001207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-32044429208745034052013-01-11T15:33:12.864-05:002013-01-11T15:33:12.864-05:00Loved it, Caro.

I only know Scotland through books, and it has seemed a little more um, subdued than what you describe.

I was visiting a Scot friend from Greece and he took me to his favorite pub--I believe on Prince Street. I made the horrible mistake of saying to the bartender who'd offered me a wee nip of his favorite scotch as a welcome drink that I didn't like scotch, then quickly tried to recover by adding that no doubt was because I suffered from a lack of experience with the "good stuff."<br /><br />As God be my witness, the bartender ran out a line of glasses along the length of the bar, filled each with a different scotch--starting from the lightest up to the "peatest"--and with a broad smile said, "Try these. Welcome to Scotland."<br /><br />I don't remember much more of that day...or the following two. So, yes, I fully understand and appreciate the program of a one day celebration, two-day recovery. <br /><br />Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
