    That I know of? On my mom's side Scottish, Norwegian and Native American. We aren't so sure about my dad's side but we have heard rumors of Native American and German.

    I don't really follow any traditions and my tastes in everything from food to music are all over the map.

    *edit: Actually now that I think about it my grandma and her sisters and brothers eat a lot of Lefse and they always have it at family reunions.

    I'm a Cajun! If I was on death row and got one last meal it wool be a vat of boiled crawfish seasoned such that my lips would burn and swell by time I finished eating them! My mother in law is the quintessential Cajun cook and I love everything she makes. Other than the Cajun food, south Louisiana has it's own unique culture. I was born and raised here and know nothing else. I get my Cajun heritage from my dad, mom is of scottish descent.

    british/persian/arabic.........i mainly eat breakfast cereal :wink:

    i think being into your heritage is much more an american pastime than a european one.........

    I think so too. But that's because most of us are immigrants here in the USA and we (our ancestors) took pride in where they came from and celebrate it, even though we're all American. It's a completely different dynamic than Europe.

    My ancestory is 50% Croatian (on my father's side; his parents came to Canada in their thirties and his older brother was born in Croatia, so he was the first born in Canada). I actually have a Czech surname, as one of my sets of great-great-great-grandparents were Czech and then emigrated to Croatia, but it's only a tiny, negligible percentage of my heritage (I can't even figure out the fraction) that I don't really take it into account, the lineage just so happened to follow a certain path that kept the Czech surname going.

    From my mother's side my heritage is 12.5% Italian, 12.5% French and after that the percentages are small and confusing, but a mish-mash of Dutch, Scottish and English ancestory.

    ETA: My father's family is still very much culturally Croatian. Of the two generations born in Canada (my father and his cousins/my second cousins and me and my first cousins) I'm the only one who doesn't speak fluent Croatian. I have never been close to my father, and he isn't close with his family, so I've had very limited exposure to them and know next to nothing about their traditions. My mother's family has been in Canada long enough that there's little tradition left on her father's side and none on her mother's. I consider myself Canadian, period.

    To address the bells palsy thing...I had a bf in high school who hit his head and fell down in the freezer at work. He Was knocked out in the cold for a while and when he came to he had bells palsy. But he got better in a few weeks, he wasn't stuck like that.

    I'm half French half Welsh. French are very into their seafood while I take a back seat as I'm vegetarian, it makes special occasions 'difficult' for my grandparents but my nan is a fantastic cook and makes me some really yummy potato salad. For my Welsh side, I grew up eating a lot of Lamb/Beef which I obviously don't eat anymore. I defy my heritage :p

    I'm an American...Truly...I am a mix of many many things, English, Scottish, Irish, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Native American and That's just the side I know about. I am the product of the great cultural melting pot that America is. My food preferences very widely, but like a good all American girl, I love burgers and fries...:smile:

    Cree indian. My great uncle was the artist Acee Blue eagle so named when a white eagle supposedly fell into a pot of blueberries. That explains the clumsiness. Also some German on my grandmothers side. My grandpa taught me a lot about about nature, my Dad about hunting and fishing and wildlife in general.
