25th January 2004

Burns Night

The Haggis season has begun
All over Scotland every gun
Is taken down with loving care.
Though some prefer the Haggis snare
For Haggis are a wily lot
That’s why they are so seldom shot.

Then hidden in the Highland heather
Great hairy clansmen crouch together
And having laid the Haggis bait –
A lifelike Haggis on a plate –
One cries out loudly, “There the noo!”
Which means a Haggis is in view.

No, not Robert Burns. Jeremy Lloyd from "Captain Beaky".

When Sue and I stayed with a dear friend in Stirling, Scotland they made us a traditional haggis meal ... facinating traditions. Thanks for the reminding of that wonderful evening.

Nice setup Chris! Hope that bottle wasn't full when you started this still life *lol* Personally never eaten haggis - I presume that is for today sometime?
