My great grandmother was from Scotland and my great granddad was from Ireland. Every Christmas we ate with them, On the table was three kinds of potatoes, and Peas. He ate the peas off his knife which made Us kids laugh to our selves. There was a cobbler for the kids who couldn’t eat the Mincemeat pies that were ansolutely neccery. Ma Lovhrie said the cobbler was for the kids because Pap Lovhrie always used brandy and Irish whiskey in the pies. ( also in his Eggnog)
