Auld Hugh (MacDiarmid) puts it better than I ever could...All the toasting toffs (Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!) in tartan trappings at Suppers should remember Rab's politics...
"Rabbie, wad’st thou wert here – the world hath need,
And Scotland mair sae, o’ the likes o’ thee!
The whisky that aince moved your lyre’s become
A laxative for a’ loquacity"
"Mair nonsense has been uttered in his name
Than in ony’s barrin’ liberty and Christ."

I was at the CAB January get together today at a nearby country tavern. I was surprised that there was no haggis on the menu!
I've never tried haggis.
P.S. Playing in the car today is 'Tough Love' - Pulled Apart by Horses
Toast - an outrage!
I bet there was curry or prawn salad though!
VK - I like it but it is a peculiar dish. A winter's fare. Not all Scots enjoy the richness of it, indeed it can be akin to people's choice in marmite - either love it or hate it.
Watch though some mass produced haggis suffers from over seasoning which is a sin in my book.
VK - thanks for note of your listening choice. I've not heard that song before!
I shall look for it.
It was pretty standard stuff. I had the only vegetarian option, macaroni bloody cheese!
I was never keen on haggis but will try a vegetarian one sometime.
Hope you had a good one, my friend!
