Do you ever get so hungry that you no longer feel hungry. Or feel so full that all you want to do is lie down and take a nap. Then beware. These are sensations at either end of the Hunger Scale and they signal a need for caution. The Hunger Scale is simply a notional way to describe your level of hunger and assess your need for food. People on a healthy diet not only know when to eat, they also know when to stop. In practically every case they are using the Hunger Scale, whether knowingly or not. The trick to using the Hunger Scale is to pay careful attention to your body and what it is telling you.

In Scotland the malted barley is roasted over open peat fires to dry, this results in the grain picking up the peat flavour. In Ireland, the malted barely is dried in closed ovens, and is never exposed to the smoke. The process of mashing and fermentation is much the same...
