Once upon a time, a day after the latest sheep was slaughtered, a Scottish gent said to his fellow clan members,
“Weh cannut jeest throo aweh thees shehp carrrcass – there’s meat upon the booones leaft to be hahd! Let’s teahk the innarrrds, screap oot the remnants of the heead and oother parrrts which noo mahn shoould eaht, and grrrind eht ahl t’getharrr. Thehn let’s boil barrrley, and mix thaht with the grrroooound innarrrds! Weh must ahl be cerrtain NOOT t’ aahd ANNEH FLAVORRRR whatsooevarrrr! Ahfter thaht, let’s teahk the innarrrds and barrrley mixturrrre, STOOFF it in t’ tha stomach we pulled ooout from the shehp carrrcass, ahnd BOIL it until noot eevn the moost eeeevil of demons would DARRRRE to touch it!
