In Janet Paisley’s poem, a girl gets advice from adults about food. What will Sarah choose tae eat? Actor Molly Quinn knows what’s on the menu.

See ma mammy;
says eat yer dinner.
Gies me cabbidge.
See ma granny;
says the wean
wullnae eat that,
leave it, hen.
Gies me choclit.
See ma daddy;
says ah’ve goatie
clear ma plate.
Dinnae like that
greasy gravy;
stane cauld tatties.
See ma granda,
says the bairn
s’no goat a stummick
like a coo.
Gies me lickris,
pandrops, chews.
Ett thum aw.
Feel seek noo.
