I live in the land of the Swedes. Seriously. 7 miles from my hometown, there was a Swedish Socialist "Utopia on the Prairie" in the 1850's. Today, if your last name doesn't end in "son" you are strange.
That is what makes this story so strange. You see, the county I live in has a new title. It used to be we were the Hog Capital of the World, as this county was one of the largest swine producers in the Country. Now, were are the largest SHEEP producing county in the State. As of January 1, 2007, Henry County had 3,700 head of Scotsman's Special Friend. Compared to the next county, which has 2,900 head.
I just can't figure out why there are so many sheep with so few Scots in the county.
I could understand if it was up near Contagion's. He is a surly Scotsman. But not around the Swedes. It just doesn't make any sense.
Why do Scots wear kilts? Because zippers scare the sheep.

I'm 3/4 Celt (mostly Scot through my grandmother swears there's an Irish great grandfather). But my grandmother was Norwegian/Swedish. And the name ended in SON.
Personally I love Scot Broth made with mutton.
Add some Lefse to it, and not only do you have a meal, you have complete cultural breakdown. :-)
