The Brits today are inert complainers with little humor except for (or including) their inside jokes. They bitch and moan yet rarely act, whereas the Scots & Irish, not necessarily in that order, act - might not even warn.

Know what they call a head butt to the chest is in Scotland?
A Scottish handshake.

I bait Dems and they clam up or run away. Maybe it's me.

I'll be visiting you for Christmas Eve and Easter dinners.

Easter Lamb: One leg of Lamb, maybe two depending on how young the Lamb is and how many people can be convinced that it is Beef. One gallon of Guinea red, halve it for one Leg, the more acidic the wine the better, Carlo Rossi used to import some stuff from Argentina that was shoe polish but was suitable for this exercise.

Strip every bit of fat off of the lamb that you can get at, especally along the bone. Take a huge Onion or two, some carrots, a lot of garlic and soak for a couple of days, don't drink the wine left overs, Nasty.

Now for the Main course. Throw the lamb in the oven about an hour after you slice up a couple of pounds of Red potatoes, 1x1 chunks. Take a cup of olive oil, some salt and a lot of garlic powder and onion powder to taste. Also at the time you are doing the potatoes, get a couple of Butternut Squashes and a pound of Grannie Smiths , peel slice and layer with a lot of butter and Brown sugar.

Along side of this we do serve a Ham with a gratan of potatoes and a pineapple gravy along with the Lamb, poppy seed cake, in the shape of the Lamb of God.
