I'll be having a wee dram against the cold now.

Actually all that stuff is unnecessary. If you can chase a haggis to a
small hill and get him to try to climb it, he will be unable to do so.
Since a haggis has legs longer on one side he will just walk aroung and
around the hill until he is exhausted. When he falls down, you put your net
over him, take him home and drop him into boiling water.
January 25 is Rabbie Burns' birthday when it is traditional to eat haggis.
The haggis should be piped into the dining hall. On other occasions one
just cuts the haggis open and eats it without the pipes playing.

Have you really eaten haggis or just scorned it because of its reputation?

I've eaten it, many years ago when on holiday in Scotland. I don't remember
it being particularly memorable.

Best wishes,

That is what is memorable about it - the "why did I bother?" element

Actually, to my taste, a real haggis is a good wholseome meal - if a bit bland. Some of the things sold to catch the unwary haven't
been hung long enough and are over-herbed to make up for it.

Have you really eaten haggis or just scorned it because of its reputation?Wayne, I've really eaten it. Both here and in Scotland. And I'm just not terribly fond of it. The seasonings aren't bad, but organ meats and suet ain't high on my list of preferred foods...
