Scotland May Add Folic Acid To Bread...

[sandyRoe]

Personally, I see this as a good thing, like the fluoride added to water some time ago.
Would others view it as the nanny state meddling where it has no Business?

Would prefer cinnamon !

[sandyRoe]

Or poppy seeds. :-))
Seriously, it would be a way to combat spins bifida. I think that working class people in Scotland, and elsewhere, don't eat enough leafy green vegetables which is a natural source.

[murraymints]

spinach is a fav of mine..especially mixed into potato cakes !

I'd thought the ladies of Morningside would start their day with a healthy cabbage leaf smoothie.

[murraymints]

and how do you know of Morningside ladies Sady ?... hmmmmm ;-)

[sandyRoe]

I'm sure they got a mention in The prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

[murraymints]

aye...many of the Brodie gurrrrls were morningside ladies in the making !!

[waterboatman]

Read that as part of English A level.

Weren't her students the crème de la crème?
It's a fair while since I read it, nearly 50 years.

Minty will be adding it to her homemade bread.....boaty too - wonder if they are going to become preggers?

[murraymints]

hmmmm......;-/

Hope they add it to the flour used to make deep fried Mars bars batter

[sandyRoe]

In Scotland 50% of these happy evens are said to be unplanned. Better safe than sorry.

[murraymints]

so passeé Eddie..it's deep fried pizza for the wegies I understand....Edinburgers are much more refeened !

[sandyRoe]

Didn't Beckett say of his fellow pupils at Portora, when they are described as the crème de la crème, 'Aye,rich and thick.'?

[murraymints]

lol Sandy..I find that is usually the case !

[lady-janine]

I've read about deep fried pizzas but think like the deep fried mars bars that's where i'll leave it, just reading about it. perhaps they should add the extra veg needed by wrapping it in dough and deep frying it.

[sandyRoe]

A variation on Beef Wellington, the meat replaced with Mars Bars. Tunnocks, the tea cake people, might take that idea up.

[murraymints]

yeuch !
