Steaks and sporrens

We visited one of Regina's 'Celtic' restaurants. Celtic is when they couldn't decide between the Scottish and the Irish and decided to go for some sort of hybrid. This one is called The Knotted Thistle. There are humorously named burgers and something called Irish nachos (amazing).

Amongst the Celtic faux-stained-glass windows and Irish music you can also find waitresses dressed in teeny-tiny kilts, knee high socks and sporrens (see sneaky photo below). Delightful I'm sure if you're a middle aged male with vague Scottish roots. Not so appealing however, if you're female. Unfortunately, scantily clad waitresses are a common theme here in Canada - I don't know whether these dress codes are enforced by the managers or whether they choose to dress like this but I think it's a real shame that shorter skirts = bigger tips.

David had the 'William Wallace' burger and I had the steak sarnie, which was all open-faced and yummy...

(That big dish of brown stuff is a lake of gravy, just for dipping chips/fries in!!!)
