Coming soon: escargot-flavored ice cream

But until then, you’ll have to make do with haggis-flavored potato chips.

(H/T: Instapundit)

Update - Via John in the comments: the Haggis Hunt is on.

A lovely treat? Hmmm...m'yes. I do know one or two people who are fond of it. But I have to think that the first person to ever eat it must have been awful hungry.

Paco, Dearest Chap, I don't know if my Bride mentioned this during dinner, and in fact I would venture a guess that she did not, as being of the more delicate persuasion such as she is she may perchance feel that it portrays her in somewhat of a lesser light than she deserves, whereas I feel it but magnifies her many-fold charms, but when we were in Scotland a few years back we stopped to tour Atholl Castle (which led to much jollity along the lines of "Is this your castle? why yes, it is, for I am an Atholl!") and after the spiffy tour we ate in the lunch room/cafeteria there. As we were merrily noshing we suddenly noticed this look of horrified disgust on my Bride's face that was almost Looney Tunes-esque in manner. Its seems that the Dear Lass had rather inadvertently picked up a bag of Haggis flavored chips (sorry! "crisps" I mean!) and her taste buds were most definitely not amused by the error.

Bingley: I rather imagine, old top, that that would have been my reaction, too.

The other night, Richard McEnroe and I went to our favorite Scots/British pub/restaurant. They usually have newspaper dedicated to what's going on "back home". In the latest edition I noticed an interesting ad that gave me pause...vegetarian haggis. Who knew?

Haggis hunting season? Did Elmer Fudd get his permit? "I'm gowing wunting haggis. (heeheeheeee.")
