We can definitely find a quieter place! Do you know Carmelita's? It's a vegetarian restaurant in Greenwood that is just absolutely gourmet-level in its food. It is downright delicious and artful food, and healthy to boot. And not insanely expensive.

We live kind of near Greenwood too - we're in North Seattle on Greenwood and 115th

never heard of the place, but it sounds good.

[Wahine]

Hmmmmmm. I am not in Seattle but I might have to make a trip of it. I'll keep an eye on the thread.

[salsabike]

Now, Wahine--THAT would be really nice. Keep pondering that option.

[Wahine]

Well you know I am of Scottish heritage and it would be a shame to miss a chance to meet on of my bretheren.

[teigyr]

Wahine, would be great if you could come up!

Do you know Carmelita's? It's a vegetarian restaurant

You're going to make a Scottish person eat vegetarian food??? Would that be deep fried?

Hello everybody - looking forward to meeting you all. I'm just back from a week's holiday in Ireland.They don't do vegetarian either Life is just one long round of holidays for me at the moment. I'm trying to re-focus my work/life balance after a particularly crap year. I may be going too far the other way

I'll be delighted to meet anyone who can come for diner and am happy to play the role of resident expert on Scottish culture for those of you with keen interest in the motherland (but be aware that I'll probably be making most of it up).

I'm sure the vegetarian food will be wonderful Do they do vegetarian haggis? Something of a contradiction in terms but delicious none the less.

For any haggis aficionados - and I'm sure there are many of you out there- Macsween's is the best.

We don't HAVE to do Vegetarian. Perhaps a steak house would be more appropriate??!

[Bruno28]

I'm very cosmopolitan for a Scot. I've eaten salad.

I'm really fine with veggie food. I can always pick up a hamburger on the way home.....

We will ask the restaurant if they can make you a chip buddy.

We will ask the restaurant if they can make you a chip buddy.

btw it's a chip butty - chips on buttered bread (in case the chips weren't high enough in cholesterol). Cholesterol is considered a vitamin in Scotland.

I am getting quite the education!
