Each us is born with a heritage that is inherited from previous generations. It's there whether or not we chose to acknowledge it. Someday another generation will inherit our lifetime contributions to this world.
When we don't take time to remember what other's have passed onto us, we are in essence placing little value on our own life. Fortunately, many do care and want to learn about whose inheritance they are enjoying today.

Heritage from the genetic standpoint was more or less "the luck of the draw."
From a cultural perspective, it has richly given pride and a sense of connection to the past.
Those corny things mom and dad did as a child sometimes span many generations. Unfortunately these little things are the items most likely to be lost to time.

I like trying the foods and traditions of my ancestors. I make the best haggis in Mid-Michigan. LOL

I'm not familiar with haggis - what kind of food is it and where did it originate?

Thanks for the information, but I think I'll pass on trying haggis. I've already had one quad-by-pass operation!
I'm of Polish decent and their was only a few ethnic recipes that I liked because most contained alot of fat. However, that didn't help in avoiding the clogged arteries.
While on the other hand, my mom never had the problem. She thrived off the fat, and even cleaned the fat out of the frying pan with a piece of bread, which she ate. She lived to be 83!

I have a friend who grew up in rural northwest England. For breakfast he likes bread with a mxiture of pickle relish and bacon fat. Yuck. |
