"Aye, well, we're as light as wee feathers," said Big Yan [a Nac Mac Feegle or Pictsie - they are about six inches tall]. "An' the wind blowin' through the kilt keeps a man well aloft, ye ken."
"I'm sure that's a sight to see," said Nanny Ogg.
I've been giggling about that all day.

Have you read any of the other ones with Feegles?I think a Nac Mac Feegle has made off with my copy, will have to track it down.

BTW, that was brilliant writing on the part of Terry Pratchett. The first part of the quote is pretty good, but when you read what Nanny Ogg says, you can't help visualizing the little blue guys floating with their kilts all puffed out and their ..., well you get the picture. (It comes up earlier in this book that they don't wear anything under their kilts.)

Today, I got one for "Wienie rissoto". It uses long grain rice, curry powder, green peppers, leeks, and chicken wienies. Sometimes the Danish interpretation of an international dish is a bit bizarre.
Um, no. As I said to Stirling, "We don't have kids, we don't have to eat stuff like that."
