Yep the national animal of Scotland is a ... UNICORN π¦
So buckle up, as we go shopping for some Unicorn food!
First stop was our local Aldi which is just up the road from the last church that I visited in A tale of three churches for St Andrew's Day π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ in Scotland
We grabbed out trolley,andrushed into the store,to be confronted by some crackers!
Who doesn't love to pull a cracker over the festive period, if you can't then there is always your parntner, hehe joking aside, crackers are fun and the wee paper hat is a must to wear at the table whilst scarfing down the turkey! Priced at a fiver for six crackers that is really good value!
And yes, some of them are games, I mean look at this one, it is the game of Cluedo!
FunFact In America it is called Clue ... no idea why, as it was invented in the UK by Mr Pratt in 1943, so why it is called Clue?
Don't ask me, I have no fluffing clue!
Okay okay enough of the fun and games, we are supposed to buying food for the unicorns!
Well, would you look at that, I saw my absolute favourite π«, although I tend to prefer dark chocolate, Galaxy is out of this world and is my favourite as Super Eli @coquicoin knows ... Now I hope you are resting up and taking it easy, I am watching you so get well soonπ
Talking about wonderful Hivians with beautiful souls, walked down the aisle and was met by...
double e just look at that ... you never told us that you had launched your own sweet candy line here in the UK!
Me thinks you will have to come and do a promotional tour!So @dreemsteem with the
Now a promotional tour sounds like a book tour!
24 yes 24 windows, well in this case 24 books!So there you go @beeber another one for the advent calendar competition and yes there really are
Now while we are talking about promotions and @beeber ...
If you read Ecency News for the 1st week of December
Tuesday 6th December at 8pm UTC time will see the premiere of a fun filled weekly show hosted by yours truly in the ecency discord channel ....
I would love to see as many of you as possible tuning in and participating, who knows Matilda may make an appearance!
then you will have seen that @melinda010100 broke the breaking news that this coming
It does not matter what country you are in @dreemsteem you can still tune in.
Set your alarms and if you comment below who is the natural enemy of the Unicorn and we see you in the show then perhaps there will be a wee Unicorn poo visit to your wallet...
Right let's get back pushing that trolley!
Where to next...
Quick stop by the yarn, no bargains today though ..,
Oh look, not unicorn food but an advent calendar for your pet pooch!
Woof Woof gimme da chocolate!
Birds, we are getting closer, some of you may remember my summer posts about coconut bras!
Yes of course I bought some! Feels great to buy animal and bird food with our Hive rewards!
Poor Cinderfella has to stock up with his cleaning supplies every so often!
If not then read it here π[ENG] HiQ β25 | Smart, Stylish & Sexy | If you read @hiq.magazine then you will know I am the proofreader of the German to English translation and have you read the issue that came out yesterday and which I wrote two articles for?
I digress well we have an expression, so this one is for you @kvinna and @smooms who introduced me to the wonderful world of Germanic idioms!
this that pineapple π dies das ananas
Still no unicorn food... but its 9.28pm here which means it is ...
After Eight, woohoo now we are talking, into the trolley these badboys went!
Shortbread, you can't pass the Christmas holidays in Scotland with eating shortbread, sorry wee robin, but you are coming home with me!
SALTED CARAMEL π or π
For me, it is πππ, how about you, and do you say caramel like it is spelt or carmel like so many americans?
That Sponge pudding, I tell you what I have had it before and it is bloody delicious and will be dessert at Christmas lunch!
Perry The Pug and his wee jumper was cute!
We did buy loads of stuff, but did not find any unicorn food:(
This was the closest we got to finding any!!!

You have Aldi in Scotland? I did not think that. Lidl maybe, but Aldi....π
Wow, you've shown some delicious things I've never seen or tasted before. I'd love to try sponge pudding cake, maybe there's a recipe and I'll bake it myself. However, i can't imagine caramel with salt. We say "Karamell" by the way. π Carmel looks like camelπ
The pineapple is great, I would have bought it immediately.
Wasn't the enemy of the last unicorn the red bull (not the energy-drinkπ)?
Many greetings.
π
Yeah they came about the same time. I remember years ago when they first arrived they were simply awful, now totally different and they are good value and stock good food!
Hehe you say Karamell actually that is how we say it with a hard C and double ll so maybe because we roll the r it is Karramell!
Hehe natural enemy of π¦ was the national animal of England π¦
Yes, they have become better and better here also over the years.π
π
Have you ever seen the Film : The last unicorn? Thats what I thought of. π
enjoy all your food.
π
So which is better Aldi or Lidl?
hmmm no The Last Unicorn is it good?
danke
hard to say, meanwhile they are both versatile and also have special things each. so i go to one or the other depending on what i want. Sometimes there's also great non-food, like a wooden pineapple as a chopping board.π What a funny gif!π !LOL

The show yeah, I need to think of what to talk about ππ π
Fair enough ;)
Haha well, I haven't heard about chocolate gin but how about some chocolates filled with gin, sure Matilda would love them and I wouldn't say no π.

Yarns! I thought you will going to buy and maybe start knitting? Hehe.
Crackers? We used to lit during new year when I was still a kid way back home.
Yet, due to series of incidents, the government banned it..not literally banned but implemented some restrictions.

Great shopping trip, but it's a shame you didn't post a stew recipe. If you want to, you still have time until Sunday the
4.012. until midnight.
There are great prizes again and your chance is great this time because not so many have taken part yet.
So I'm looking forward to your contribution, how about the Scottish national dish?
So see you then under :
