Uprated. I LOVED the North of England, and the South of Scotland! I was FINE with the food in both countries, since 1980, many times, mostly for pleasure but a little bit for work. I just stuck to local specialties and game. No problem! Crab fishing by boat is horribly hard and dangerous. Seafood and shellfish, any sea or water products, in fact, are generally way too toxic to eat or too stressed to harvest, however, so I reluctantly avoid them. (But do not exclude them. Depends.) The parmo is, at this point, after living in France so long from the USA via Italy, too gloopy for me likely, but I certainly would try it! I really like doing some British and Scottish dishes here, making my own pastry, getting the gnarly supplies and cooking them all down. Fun clip. I think the North of England is a bit like the North of France, which has a bad reputation. Undeserved. I can really recommend the Northeast of England as a visit destination. Go look, study the history, behave, and try some things! Very fun clip, thank you.

Yes, there are also a lot of superstitions about boats, ships, water, the sea, et c. Some things are considered highly inauspicious. Last year I read a rather long piece on some of them, and also, the cost and trouble you have to go to to rename a vessel. Otherwise, the sea will not recognize her and will reclaim her quickly. If the TITANIC was, indeed, her sister ship, badly damaged in a mishap, then refitted, and disguised, not only was their structural damage, but the new, fake, cheating ship was doomed, if you believe superstition. At the very least, it's pretty rude to do what he did, in and of itself. At least to document it.
