I'm ashamed of myself: I got Scotland wrong!!!!!!! Actually, the question is not quite right because dinner in Scotland is the main meal of the day, no matter the time it is consumed, but it is true that many do make the midday meal the main one, called dinner, while many others have their dinner in the evening and yet others have their dinner as a high tea at 4.30.
Otherwise, I'm fit to travel with 9/11!Brian (the devil incarnate)

7/11
Oddly, I only missed questions on places I had been to.
And I dissagree with thier answer for England.
I worked in a summer camp in England in the 60's and the first time the American kids were served fried chicken an audible gasp went up from the English staff when the kids lit into it with thier hands.
Maybe things have changed in the last 35 yearsChuck

I disagree with the English one, too.
Out of the answers they had, A was the most correct. Eating with hands is fine, unless you're a stuck up twat, or there is gravy involved.
As for how chicken should be served - roasted, and served with roast potatoes, sage and onion stuffing and yorkshire puddings

I thought Yorkshire pud is served as a starter with gravy, to cut the appetite, so that you would eat less of the more expensive beef. Of course, it is well known that Yorkshiremen are closer to their money than Scotsmen! At least, the latter can reach their money easier in their sporran than a Yorkshire bloke who has his pockets at the bottom of their trouser legsBrian (the devil incarnate)
