@yrubswed@BeardedBrownMa1 Well I know my descendants, they're upstairs revising. I'm almost certainly mostly Viking. However I also have B- blood which comes from the Himalayas apparently so there's been some mixing up the line somewhere.
@BeardedBrownMa1 Dear Sikhs, I have never had any kind of issue with you and I'm very sorry that you've been pulled into the 'brown religious man bad' category by the action of one mad family and the general issue with Islamists.

@DeepFryedLogic@PRAVDA_KECHB We don't really have a culture of home-smoked meat, although plenty of sliced ham and bacon at the supermarket is smoked commercially, as is salmon and other fish. If we have a whole ham at Christmas, the tradition is to boil it to reduce the salt content from salt preserving.
