"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
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.
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.")
The annual haggis hunting season is open -

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