No, the French eat far worse things (frogs, snails- I love snails - cow's tongue, toad wine and other things that I can't remember) I'm not joking.
But yes, they do stop people more and more and more. The Police are becoming ee pain een zee ass.
I saw a haggis advert on this site and will be ordering for the 25th of November.

What's so special about the 25th of November? Is it your birthday?

Ouch... thanks guys. Getting it mixed up with Xmas and Guy Fawkes.
Yes, the 25th of January (1759), died 21st July, 1796)
Rather like Alice Cooper's music... bit disturbing the 'Dead babies don't cry' song, but good stuff all the same.
I feel a burns song coming on...
« LAND O’ THE LEAL »
I’m wearin’ awa’ Jean,
Like snaw-wreaths in thaw, Jean.
I’m wearin’ awa’
To the land o’ the leal.
There’s nae sorrow there, Jean,
There’s neither cauld nor care, Jean,
The day’s aye fair
In the land o’ the leal.
To me ye hae been true Jean.
Your task’s ended noo, Jean,
For near kythes my view
O’ the land o’ the leal.
Our bonnie bairn’s there, Jean,
And, oh ! we grudged her sair
To the land o’ the leal.
But dry that tearfu’ ee Jean,
Grieve na for her and me, Jean.
Frae sin and sorrow free
I’ the land o’ the leal.
Now fare ye weel, my ain Jean !
This world’s cares are vain, Jean,
We’ll meet and aye be fein
I’ the land o’ the leal.
Robert Burns
The most original poet of his time.

Latest has it that King Arthur may have been Welsh ... and may have fought the English! Dog-gone-it, I bet English people everywhere are gnashing their teeth and tugging their beards

Haggis... English? In that case, I must stop eating it. Dear Lord, I hope scones and oatcakes are still on the menu.

Now as for the old haggis.......how do you cook it?
Steamed?
Baked?
Personally, I prefer microwaving....flecked with a few dods of butter |

Wierd that, microwaves are a guid way to cook traditional stuff eh?
Scrambled eggs..... haggis. It just blows some thing apart though Frankfurter sausages for example. |

Boiled in the bag.
Although the current household favourite (that we do for treats) is to stuff a chicken with it, and allow the flavours to permeate. The carcass and left over haggis makes great stock too

I wish this thread would die and go away.
Every time I see it I crave some haggis and it's not locally available.
Fiddlesticks.

Know that feeling well.
Stocked up on tinned haggis now though...... and done in the micro it's great.
Difficult to get fresh turnip in the supermarket in Germany though. 
Can't you order it on-line? If you can't, PM me an address that I can send a tin or two to.
I'll mark the package Attn: "Grand Layer".
Handy thing this religeon eh? |

It might conflict with my Pastafarianism.
I've enough on my plate with the FSM and the Invisible Pink Unicorn and the wee brown teapot without adding another set of arbitrary beliefs to my pantheon.

Fair dues mate, I like the sound of your Pastafarianism though.......
In an ecumenical type of way of course. It does provide food for thought. |

Can't say that I knowingly have...... after a serious session of drunkardness, either with a hot or cold passion I have often attacked this issue. Sometimes regretting it later.
Then in moments of sobriety I will take these issues on board and have a greater understanding of them.
There's certainly a lot of common ground between our faiths, but as in most faith based religeons, we ought to stay focused on our core beliefs. |
