Heritage - 02-16-05

What's your heritage?
Are there aspects of it's culture and traditions you incorporate into your everyday life?
Or do you not care?

I am British of mostly Irish descent, my Mum is British but born in India.
All I have for the Irish is the naturally red hair, pale skin and freckles.
From the Indian, I have a few things, like I call my Mum 'Ama', the Indian name for mother. I think Indian mangoes are the best in the world, and Boxing Day has always been a feast of Indian food with my extended maternal family.

How about everyone else?
I know evilkitty makes some great Chinese food


A golden energy
Was rising out of my head
I shed my evil skin
And found myself again

I was wrong, I don't mind
The impossible seems possible
This time I'm an electric wire
If the sun can radiate then so can I

Born in Hong Kong and moved to Canada with my family when I was little
The only reason I can cook Chinese food is because My Dad is a chef. I try to cook chinese every night except weekend. That is the time for me to take a break and eat out or eat other type of food. I am glad that I married a man who happen to love chinese food or else he have to starve

Irish, English, French Canadian.

I like the Irish aspect of my heritage the most, and would love to visit Ireland sometime. But, I really don't incorporate any traditions into my life, .. well, drinking and being irish does kinda of go hand in hand..

well, i never cared too much for german beers or the wine, too sweet. as for the irish in me, i did like stout when i did drink beer and i guess my taste for wine comes from the french in me.

You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

Nope, Canadian...Nova Scotian to be exact....Nova Scotia = New Scotland, and they don't call it that for it's high Zulu population.

Irish, Scottish and French that I know of. Possibly some African.

I'm 100% sure that I am 1/4 Italian, the rest is all pick and choose because I can't be asked to trace my family lineage. I'm sure of some scots-irish and german which explains why I can turn into a ghost when I avoid the sunlight despite the italian blood. Even though I have an Itallian grandmother I don't do anything in relation to that, she doesn't speak Italian anymore, as a matter of fact she has developed a very distinct southern accent from living here for so many years, and no - she was born in Nevada, not Italy like her brothers. So I don't know any italian or anything other than some really good recipes and a taste for italian wine.

I forgot to mention that I do identify on some level with the pagan roots of my Irish and Scottish heritage. I did have someone tell me that I look like a viking today after all.
I definitely have a pompous streak too, so I count that as my French influence.
