Haggis is steaming away merrily - YAYS for Burns' Night.

[tjwmason]

Can't say I'm that keen on his poetry - but in his honour I've got a haggis cooking happily, a glass of whisky by my side, and some neaps and tatties to sort out soon.

This wasn't on Burns' Night - but it was in Scotland:

1. Nice kilt

:hi:

[tjwmason]

3. Thanks.

They're actually very comfortable to wear, and surprisingly warm.

I'm definitely a fan (especially on other men :evilgrin: ).

2. I really need to get one of your calendars so I'll know what's coming up.

Good to see you so well turned-out. I've never had the opportunity to try haggis, but I would try some of yours. And that's saying something. Have a great evening. :hi:

[tjwmason]

5. My calendar is entirely in my mind.

You're more than welcome to have as much of that as you want.

Haggis is wonderful, and I really don't know what folk have against it. I do have to confess that this was purchased, rather than home-made. But I would make one for you. :hi:

8. Tonight is Burns' Night, tomorrow is Australia Day, and

January 9 was Coming of Age Day (Japan).

See ya tonight!

12. You'd better be "all churchy!" I've got my (left) eye on you!

4. what is haggis?

my local radio dj suggested eating it with marmite to make it palable. having tried marmite, that is saying something.

[tjwmason]

6. Traditional Scottish food.

It's made from pork offal, which is why folk are grossed out by the thought of it, but your local D.J. is a fool if he doesn't like the taste.

Marmite is just nasty stuff. :puke:

7. marmite is nasty!!!

i tried it on toast and almost puked. i threw away the rest of the toast as well as the jar.

[tjwmason]

9. I don't blame you at all

Though there are lots of people who love it - go figure I suppose.

[crispini]

10. Is that you?

Dang! Cute! :loveya:

[tjwmason]

14. Yes, I fear it is.

:blush:

[Montauk6]

13. So, Haggis is NOT served raw???

[tjwmason]

15. Assuming that you want to avoid food-poisoning

they're much better cooked.

[redqueen]

16. Ah I do love a man in a kilt.

:loveya:

Nice sporran!

What's Burns' night, anyway?

[tjwmason]

17. The anniversary of Rabbie Burns' birth

It's used as a celebration of all things Scottish by those with some connection with it.

18. Lucky you-you have haggis!

I haven't had it in years. And I didn't realize it was Burns' Night already!

[BrotherBuzz]

19. After ten years of practicing....

using our best memory and counting, we believe our one and only son was conceived on Robert Burns' night. We had attended a gathering to include readings and a whiskey toast to Burns. Thank you Bobby (and the whiskey, too, I guess ;))

20. It's Burns Night! I'll have to wrap myself in my tartan!

I'll have to help myself to some single malt too!

21. I liked the haggis I ate in Scotland

Bought a meal of haggis, tatties and neeps. Didn't care much for the neeps (but I ate them).

I like Burns' "O My Love is Like a Red Red Rose", even if it is schmalzy.
