Quote by Denise Mina
We don't really go in for big family dinners, but Scottish people are famously confrontational. It's a cultural thing, so maybe we don't need to have them to clear the air. Also, traditional family food isn't as nice here so there's no payoff for traveling hundreds of miles.
Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker's Scottish culture is known for being confrontational, which may explain why they don't feel the need to have big family dinners to clear the air. Additionally, the speaker implies that the traditional family food in Scotland is not as enjoyable, removing the incentive for them to go through the effort of traveling long distances for these meals. Thus, it presents cultural differences and a lack of culinary satisfaction as reasons behind the speaker's indifference towards hosting big family dinners.
