Publisher's Synopsis
After the success of Being Scottish in Italy, Fraser Lauchlan continues his Sardinian adventures in this sequel, where he describes more stories, anecdotes and unique experiences of how he copes with being Scottish living on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia with his Italian wife and family. We learn about what a 'passo carrabile' is exactly, and why they don't exist in Scotland, how scandalous it is to want a bit of cheese on your fish-based pasta, and the essential differences between ice-cream and gelato.
