Arch Stanton Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 3 hours ago, pozbaird said: Food on sale in general concourses at every large sporting event I’ve ever been to is overpriced and never that great. Could say the same for the stuff they sell at big concerts too. I’m now trying hard to think of anything I may have had at any stadium that was really good, and I’m struggling. Closest to being any good were the BBQ chicken strips in MetLife Stadium, New York. It must be the same the world over. Worst thing I’ve ever tasted in a stadium was, without doubt, the coffee I had on a cold day at Hamilton’s New Douglas Park. I say coffee, but I’m pretty sure you can buy the same stuff in B&Q, but it’s for killing slugs. Some of the Pie Sports specials have been good such as the deep fill curry and salt n pepper chicken pies. Overpriced at £4.50 mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite is the hedgehog, gràineag. It certainly looks like gràin (hatred, abhorrence), plus the diminutive suffix, so something like "wee detesty", "hateful wee thing", which seems a bit strong for the cute wee beastie. MacBain's etymological dictionary says that is indeed the derivation, but that book is quite out of date and not always very reliable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
