Hit or Miss | Stafford McDowall and Kiran McDonald

Hit or Miss | Stafford McDowall and Kiran McDonald

They’re two highly-rated prospects in the Glasgow Warriors squad, but what are they like when it comes to food and drink? Find out whether Kiran McDonald and Stafford McDowall rated these culinary delights as Hits or Misses…

Pasta

SM: Definite
hit. I always have spaghetti bolognaise the night before a match, so it’s a
tradition for me.

KM: Hit.
Absolutely. One of my go-to dishes is carbonara, but with penne and not
spaghetti. Bit of chicken in there, too – fantastic. I’ve also recently started
making pollo Milanese, which is basically fried chicken with spaghetti and
tomato sauce. That’s been a bit of a go-to recently.

Curry

SM: It’s
probably one that’s a miss for me, to be honest. I’ll happily eat it, I just
wouldn’t ever really choose a curry.

KM: I’m
half-Indian, so I love it! I don’t eat it that often though, not nowadays. It’s
more of a treat. Lamb saag for me, perfect.

Fish supper

SM: Hit, for
sure.

KM: Yep,
hit. Safe option. You can’t go wrong with that.

Full
Scottish

SM: I’m not
a massive fan of black pudding, but apart from that it’s a hit. We used to have
black pudding rolls here for breakfast, they used to break me.

KM: Stornoway
black pudding is class, though. Full Scottish for me, definite hit.

Cheeseburger

SM: Hit.
Burgers in general are a pretty big hit for me!

KM: I think
I’m like Stafford with his curry here – it wouldn’t be my first choice, but I’d
still eat it.

Ice Cream

SM: You
can’t really say no to ice cream, can you? I don’t have tubs and tubs of ice
cream in the freezer, but I’ll never say no.

KM: Haagen-Dazs
vanilla, for me. Definite hit.

Sushi

SM: I’ve
never really had it to be honest. Aki [Seiuli] was shocked about that when we
went on holiday recently – I should probably try it at some point!

KM: Hit for
me. Love sushi, big fan.

Beer

SM: Hit, in
moderation obviously…

KM: Yep,
Tennent’s is a go-to. If they need a couple of brand ambassadors, we’ll do it!

Chinese
takeaway

SM: Hit,
definitely. Egg fried rice, and some salt and chilli chicken – I know it’s not
strictly Chinese, but it’s really good.

KM: Chicken
satay, on the skewer, maybe some special fried rice – hit for me too.

Chocolate

SM: Hit
again. Can’t go wrong with chocolate.

KM: Recently
it’s been a hit for me, aye – Galaxy and Galaxy Caramel for me.

Pizza

SM: People
are going to think we’re just fat, but that’s a hit too! Pizza is definitely up
there for me.

KM: Paesano
is a big one for me – really good as a Friday night treat, definitely a hit.
