Red splintering through a haze of dark mediocrity.
From A to Z,
One to ten and back again.
Red Hair cuts through it all.
Whether you’re a Weatherman in Weatherfield,
Or a Minuteman in Manhattan,
Heat leaves you quickest through the top of the head,

And it’s up there where the brains are, that you’ll find the Red Hair.

We, The Redheaded are a hardy, resourceful band.
The Gene we carry has been passed down to us from The Picts, the original inhabitants of Caledonia, modern day Scotland.
The Picts were a potent mix of warrior and artist,  The Dominant Gene coursed through their veins. Their reputation as an unpredictable, spontaneous race was the mortar in the bricks of Hadrian’s Wall.

The Picts legacy lives on in Scotland and Ireland today.
Their Stone Circles and Sculptures stud the barren landscapes, giving rhyme and reason to some of the most inhospitable pieces of earth on these islands. The Roman Legions, used to dealing with a cowering, subservient opponent, were caught unaware by the sheer fury of The Picts, their Red hair glinting and sparkling against the Caledonian sun. The Roman Empire ground to a halt at Berwick and all points North.

Redheads carry this stubborn resistance to authority and determination to choose their own way in life to this day.

Being a Redhead isn’t easy.
Nor is climbing Everest or Diving for Pearls.
It’s not meant to be, and you wouldn’t want it to be.
There are those who do and those who don’t,
those who will and those who won’t.

The Dominant Gene can skip a generation or maybe two, will hide in the Family Tree until the time is right to carry the message, then return to the fold when there are shoulders ready to carry the head and the hair.

So gather up your things and prepare for tomorrow, your hair gives you the strength you cannot beg or borrow.

Hey Redhead !!
Whether there’s sugar on your tongue or there’s salt in a wound.

You are Redheadandproud.
You carry your birthright every hour of every day,
There are millions of people who would love it that way.

When we were all much younger, we were told to eat our Greens.

With hindsight, this advice has proved to be complete bunkum.

It’s the Reds we should eat.

Carrots, Oranges, Tomatoes and such are the things to keep a Redhead fit and well.

With that in mind, here are some Redheadandproud Recipes created to grace your auburn table.

Enjoy - and if you have a recipe you feel would do justice to the Red Palate, please let us have it and we will include it in this section.
