Kilts & Culture Full Episode 2.1.19

Excellent advice on sporrans

[@DanielDillman]

Cleaning spats, oy! Back in boot camp in the mid-late 80's, we used Dreft or similar powder detergent and a generous amount of elbow grease with a scrub brush and cold water to get those clean.

The crossed white ribbon is the white cockade, the white rose. Blue has been the national colour of Scotland for a long period. The blue bonnet itself goes back at least into the 16th century. There was a guild of Bonnet makers here in Edinburgh by 1599. So yes the blue bonnet, from very light almost grey blue to dark royal blue is a very historical garment more historical and older than kilts themselves.

There's a great range available. Tunnocks tea cakes, snowballs and crumpets. HEAVEN. The mystery id the Clootie Dumpling. A food that seem to keep forever. Surprising as it disappears from our table within 10 minutes! A cloot is cloth. My granny used a pillow case to make it, placing the mix in a corner. It came out of the witches cauldron and was placed in front of the real fire. It had a hard heat dry and appeared as a brown coloured steaming woman's breast. It tasted great, but would feel like lead in your stomach. Great videos, during lockdown I really need the laughs in Glasgow.

Wabbit season, or duck season? Be vewy, vewy quiet.

[@axelmacdonald6422]

Spatz - canvas type etc - get acquainted with BLANCO - British used to blanco their webbing and white blanco should prove useful for getting spatz nice and white again.

[@TheCelt76]

Awhile back a usa firm took over cadburys chocalte and changed the recepie in amount of milk used in the cadburys creme egg. it caused an up raw lol. so i guess the main differance between our chocalate to American is probably the amount of milk we use.Love the Show.

[@scottmurray5600]

Does Rocky box? Kung Fu? Those hands fly everywhere and I love his style.

[@straycat1674]

There is a beautiful coyote sporran with the Scot stag head on the lid. I would wear that one s a daily!!!!

[@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603]

Have white chocolate twix in the fridge here. But they been selling twix here forever used to sell a dark twix but they stopped making them.

[@WH6FQE]

I have a full face badger sporran that is about 8 years old that was custom made for me that is starting to shed. Do you know of any way to keep this from happening?

[@iceboundmartel]

Penguin have the best dad jokes. BTW British milky way has no caramel, it's a 3 Musketeers. I cannot believe you didn't get a slab of UK Dairy Milk or Galaxy

[@EvolvedSungod]

Main difference is that in the UK they regulate the minimum level of cocoa, but the differences are even bigger from US to German chocolate

[@axelmacdonald6422]

Sweater vest? I presume Tank Top - wear them all the time for casual occasions. Also choc bars - try get some proper Scottish snacks made by Tunnocks - all excellent products

[@willneverforgets3341]

Thanks for the sporran tips... Nobody tells you at the beginning you actually might need 2 sporrans

[@masterchief586]

Are you guys aware that the Sporran was originally worn on one side of the hip or the other, not in front.

[@pressm4n]

British Turkish delight vs Canadian Turkish delight is a huge difference. The center Turkish delight tastes like dish soap. Canadian takes like swedish fish candy

[@rickmoore3730]

I always thought the Canadian TD tasted like soap . Never had fish candy . I might pass .

[@philiptruitt]

I am in the woods every weekend and wear Carolina Linemen (16 hole) with mine!!

[@rabbitspliff]

"The Isle of Skye tartan is so beautifully done in Scotland" And England, if you're not just counting Lochcarron. Since Marton Mills is in Yorkshire. Don't get me wrong, plenty of us have at some point considered what it would be like to move the political border southwards and include much of the North of England in the same political entity as Scotland, separate from the south, but I don't think that's realistically going to happen.

[@rickmoore3730]

Well at least move the border south to Hadrian's Wall !

[@alandavid7874]

@@rickmoore3730 south of Yorkshire would be better

[@rickmoore3730]

@@alandavid7874 LOL . I have been to Norway three times ( have friends there ) and to London but never made it to Scotland . Would love to get there no matter where the border is ! I am in Canada BTW . Cheers

[@uncletungsten5253]

Deep fried Mars bars are the BEST. That is a uniquely Edinburgh high street treat!

[@MaverickRenegade]

Adolf Sweater taste test was funny stuff

[@doaknife9161]

I'm thinking 80s Punk more like utility kilts t-shirts leather vest or leather coat like Rowdy Roddy Piper what is your comments or thoughts on how to do this properly I can hold it

[@doodelbop2633]

I love the jacobite tartan. When I get the money for a 5 yarder iam getting a jacobite kilt.

[@michaelsterling8065]

doodel bop which one is that?

[@jessinaespinal8206]

What are the chances of designing a tartan for nurses?

[@scottmurray5600]

Welsh rare bit. Brilliant.

[@scottmurray5600]

Caerphilly cheese, Peters pies and Welsh still water 'Ty Nant'.

[@michaelsommers2356]

When you guys talk about topics, you sound like the McKenzie brothers.

[@USAKiltsOfficial]

Thanks? HAHAHA

[@thomaspatton4401]

Hey, I have no idea what that hoser's talking about eh? Hey, me neither eh? Does that nob think he's in the Great White North or something eh? Hey, take off you hoser! Yea, take off you nob!

[@rdennisburr8072]

I'm having problems finding brown belts and Kilt belts here in Canada.

[@rickmoore3730]

I haven't looked for brown belts but see if USA kilts have them or ask for them where you buy your stuff . If you can't get someone to get it for you order online . If it's out there you can purchase it !

[@thomaspatton4401]

I got mine off Amazon only because I couldn't find it anywhere else at the time. The leather is fairly thin, (Cheap) For $20.00, you get what you pay for but it serves it's purpose. Or, you could call or E-mail the guys at USA Kilts and make inquiries, I'm sure they could help. I'm sure that the leather will be thicker (better quality) too.

[@thomaspatton4401]

Mine are Paton (Irish) MacLean of Duart, MacLean Hunting (Scottish; on Dad's side) and Smith Hunting (Scottish; on Mom's side) all of which seem to get overlooked. Blessing or curse, I'm not sure.

[@danielrickel8807]

i use to work at mars and the candy tastes a lot better when its fresh.

[@david.leikam]

I really like Marabou Daim Saltlakrits.

[@kerplunk8011]

I like chocolate anywhere, anytime, and anyplace.

[@willneverforgets3341]

uk chocolates & sweets are addictive. I loved the double deckers, twix, bounty... I have bad teeth because of you "UK sweets" LOL for a bigger difference the cadburys are different

[@miguelmcwilliams7015]

A question for everyone from an American patriot. Concealed carry / open carry / gear ? In my opinion the one thing that Scott's and Americans/ American Scott's have in common is Freedom. I would like a polite and respectful discussion on this topic . Stay free and kilted brothers

[@neilcampbell2222]

Sgian-dubh. It is part of formal dress to be armed.

[@travisragelmoore5800]

I have 2 newborn babies twin boys that are premature is the any way I can get a kilt in the Moore clan

[@travisragelmoore5800]

What about weebearns

[@rickmoore3730]

Sorry I am a bit late but if you don't have a kilt yet it is the Muir tartan you are after . That was my first wool kilt and I love the sett . Congratulations by the way and I am a twin as well . Cheers , Rick Moore

[@pauljermy7072]

milky ways in UK are white noughart only.. no caramel

[@hartleymartin]

Re: Sporrans. Do you know someone who would make a sporran for me if I sent them a kangaroo pelt?

[@rabbitspliff]

It's been done before, so I'm sure you'd be able to find at least one sporran maker who would.

[@craigwthomson]

Martin Hartley You could try Margaret Morrison in Perth (Scotland). I’m not sure of laws regarding importing Kangaroo pelt into the UK.

[@doodelbop2633]

Try Walsh rarebit outs like a cheese dip.

[@marksadventures3889]

We get Twix, Mars, Snickers - formerly Marathon, you can keep Hershey's, yuk! PpppPick up a Penguin as the add goes. Get that Mars bar in batter an in the frier for a taste of Glasgow. You should have got Club biscuits, Yorkie bars - chunky man-size chock bar. Hershey's did buy Cadbury's the biggest Chocolate snack company in the UK, not all of us agreed to this. My buddy has type 2 and he can't eat much candy and he has Mars bars in the fridge he cuts in slices for when he has a hypoglycemic attack. Milky way here must be different - as I'd say Mars is far denser.Was Jack Daniel a Welsh guy? Okay, Welsh or Cymraig is their second language, English the first. Unless you're English and then they will pretend they don't understand you. Lava Bread is a traditional Welsh dish as are mutton dishes. Lardy Cake I think had it's beginnings in Cornwall/Kernow and Wales/Cymru.

[@dalekidd420]

Diced Vs Plain headware: historically, the dicing was used in the British military's Scottish regiments to indicate a Catholic regiment. Over the years, as various regiments amalgamated, this became a moot point and, as I understand it, whether companies within the Highland Regiment wear the dicing today is simply based on the uniform of their last generation ancestral regiment prior to the overall amalgamation.

[@dalekidd420]

Oh... most cringe-worthy CLAN tartan: (HANDS-freakin'_DOWN!!!) Buchanan modern

[@SuperJhon360]

I disagree a Polo is considered semi dress aswell it speaks of businessman on vacation or its too hot to wear my suit so Polo. So I'd wear semi dress sporran with semi dress Polo. Also my kilt is dark it really only shows up, In the sun so the lighter fur stands out better and I haven't found a brown sporran that I liked.

[@TheCelt76]

To be fair uk chocalates taste alot better but i do love reeses

[@lindathrall5133]

USA KILTS HELPED WITH MY GLENGARRY CAP AND KILT PINS THEY HAVE A VERY FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE GROUP I SUGGEST USA KILTS

[@robertforster355]

The comparisons here seem to be proving once again that most men have no real sense of taste- there is in fact quite a difference in flavours between each of those compared products. I'll also mention that as someone who grew up in Canada, we eagerly looked forward to trips to the USA so we could by American candy and get away from the often awful British tradition stuff.
