I used to live near McSweens when they still operated out of Bruntsfield. I love haggis - we kept the tradition today. One thing that I did find offputting was waiting at the bus stop on a cold winter's morning with the boiled mutton vapours venting out and swirling around the bus queue. If you had a hangover it didn't much help.
I will taste just about anything, I'm a serious gourmet, but I must admit that Haggis is one of those things that I would have to be quite courageous (or slightly inebriated) to try without a shudder lol
10 servings for the price of 6? Not bad! Thanks for the encouraging words you left on my blog today. I did, indeed, have a hot toddy tonight and it stopped my cough as nothing else has! Hope you and yours stay 'flu free' this season!
that is a magnificent picture of a haggis ... and i see it can be ready in 20 minutes in the microwave .. ah for modern conveniences ... and at 10 servings for the price of 6, that is a great deal. happy Robbie Burns' Day to you!

ReplyDeleteHaggis and poetry , why not ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I would be able to eat it - is it really tasty?
ReplyDeleteHe looks so happy reciting that simple poem of his. Food makes people happy, even if it´s haggis.
