Tartan Selkie????

[bluecow]

Can someone tell me what this is please? It is on my sons school dinner menu and I have never heard of it :oops:

I tried googling it but could not find the answer.

LOL - I have never heard of it - when I googled all I got was boats and sentences like this one:

"lady sipped Baileys in tartan pyjamas and hiking boots while a ruddy-cheeked ... I told her in any case she might be carried off by a selkie and never ..." :clap: :laff:

Well a Selkie is one of these:

Selkies (also known as silkies or selchies) are mythological creatures in Irish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_mythology) and Scottish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_mythology) mythology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythology) that can transform themselves from seals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinniped) to humans, where "selkie" is simply the Orcadian word for "seal".

Is it a main course or a pud?

[bluecow]

It's listed on the main courses. I am glad I am not the only one who hasn't heard of it :grin:

N M That was the result I got too! I am really :huh: now. I will have to go into school tomorrow and ask what it is!

[RedTiger]

Never heard of it! But am intrigued now - you'll have to let us know what it is once you find out! Maybe they've just made it up to make the menu sound exciting??!

[bluecow]

That's what I thought RedTiger. Either that or they put it in to see how many parents pay attention to the menu!

[noo noo]

I'm guessing its made up! Perhaps fish stuffed with haggis? Selkie is definately a seal.

Not only does that sound :sick:but it is too far removed from pizza and chicken nuggets to feature :wink: Although I am impressed with the changes they have made. Chips still feature cunningly disguised as 'sauted potatoes'

Well, I asked the secretary who replied "what's a what?" :puzzled: so I then asked a dinner lady who also didn't have a clue :shrug: but she said she would ask the cook for me.

So, I saw said dinner lady and apparently the cook has never heard of it either so she has never been able to cook it :mad:

I am still intrigued as to how it has managed to make its way onto the menu when no-one has heard of it though :headscratch:

[RedTiger]

PMSL :lol: :lol:

[scatterbrain]

lol - it sounds like someone was having a laugh when they typed it up & forgot to remove it before it wqs printed :lol:
