This evening I went to the supermarket (memo to self: never go food shopping when you are 1) hungry, and 2) there is a winter storm coming) and among other things bought a package of smoked salmon.

It was marked “Smoked In The Scottish Tradition” but was also labeled “Product of USA”.

Uh-oh, here comes a major Scottish Nationalist Freak-Out. :eek:
