Aa man maun hae mait!
A Doric phrase which translates, ‘You must eat!’
Merlyn Riggs is an Aberdeenshire based artist who was in residence from August to November 2008.
Merlyn’s question is shared by many of us: what shall I cook for tea tonight? But it also indicates a specific role in the community; a role of caring, hospitality and an embracing of home-life. What has this question to offer when explored in today’s community? and how can one highlight the traditions of good old family home cooking?
