Steve Burke 177 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I believe I will pass on the haggis, however. You won't have missed much as you'll be offered only frozen haggis at this time of year as they hibernate in the winter.

Phone 729 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Steve, Where do haggisi live? Are they ground dwellers? Severus, A delightful time is exuding from your posts. Good for you! Phone Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Burke 177 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Best site I've seen about the hibernation of the haggis is at http://www.kebriggs.com/haggis/hunts.html. Severus will just have missed the traditional haggis hunts on Burns Night ( January 25th) that celebrates Scotland's most famous poet.

severus 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Methinks I should get me hip-boots, I'm being bool-shite-ed. This morning I had a coot (good) breakfast, according to my waitress. Took me a moment to realize she wasn't talking about waterfowl.

corydoras 454 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well, farewell to Lancashire and Yorkshire, hello Edinburgh. So close and yet the accents are worlds apart, at least from this Yankee's perspective. What lovely country on the journey here. And am enjoying the sightseeing and experimenting with various foods. I believe I will pass on the haggis, however. If you get to Oban, have a haggis and chips from the Fish and Chip Shop on George Street. The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.Vaut mieux ne rien dire et passer pour un con que de parler et prouver que t'en est un!Mi, ch’fais toudis à m’mote Link to post Share on other sites
severus 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well, I tried the haggis and found it at least edible. Reminded me of corned beef hash, my friend Fred thought it delicious. Back in London now, headed for Chicago tomorrow. Adios! Be good and you will be lonely. ~ Mark Twain Link to post Share on other sites
