Burns night on Thursday. Who is having Haggis, neeps & tatties?

I might go haggis hunting myself, it's quite a drive to the highlands but it's better to catch them yourself so you can get a fresh one :D

I haven't been, but I think it's this place called Bene's in Edinburgh. Bottom left on this page:

I might have to try it next time I'm in Edinburgh!

I'm more than willing to give you a tour of Scotland's natural haggis habitat ;)

Not sure about letting you loose on the whisky trail though! :p :

Everyone knows that Haggis run round the mountains of Scotland because they have 1 leg shorter than the other

So they can't move off a circular path? :laugh:

I always thought the haggis was manufactured out of old tram tickets and bubble-wrap ;)

A popular misconception. Although they do taste somewhat similar, you'll find the tram ticket and bubble wrap atificial Haggis actually tastes nicer ;)

I've been pretty much living in the furthest place AWAY from Scotland in Britain :p :

Think I'll give it a miss, though ;)

Ah, I had wondered... thanks. I've never had any form of haggis, although I may have seen one run across the street in front of me when I was 13. I didn't know they could survive outside of their natural, -75 degree habitat ;) :devil:
