Yes, yes I know it's juvenile but....

Ditty's Irish oatmeal biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to good Irish cheeses and are served in all the best restaurants, and some rubbish ones too.
They are also a never ending source of amusement for waiters who really should know better. Take tonight for example.

"Oh are these my Ditty's?" asked the very lovely American lady.

"They certainly are." Replied the waiter sidestepping the obvious joke.

Lifting one of the biscuits and turning to her husband she asked, "Hey Brian, do you wanna bite of my Ditty's?"

Mmmm dittys.

Waiter, my Ditty's are soggy.

Waiter, that wasn't enough, may I have an extra helping of Ditty's.

The mixed use of apostrophes is actually killing me.

Luckily my friends from Belfast are here visiting in South Florida so I got the chance to stupidly ask them the meaning.

Great fun.
