Sherlock Holmes said something like: “only a Scottish woman can do breakfast right”. I wonder tho. Nearly all my ancestors were Scots but I don’t think I could take the food.

For your convenience, yarddog, the exact quote (referring to Holmes' landlord and housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson), is "her cuisine is a little limited, but she has as good an idea of breakfast as a Scotchwoman".

The quote is from the Conan Doyle story, "The Naval Treaty".

Best to you, and FReegards!
