What this country needs is a good $5 haggis. Just look what it's done for this lad.

I once ordered haggis in a restaurant in Edinburgh (it was on the menu,) and the waitress brought me haddock. I suspect that means not many people in that restaurant ordered haggis.

I once read an adventure novel in which a bird slammed into the windshield of a small airplane, ending up eviscerated in the cockpit, looking "like a hand grenade that had hit a haggis."

The King of Puddings, served with tatties and neaps.A bottle of Athol Brose, the closest(and IMHO the tastiest) American sausage is the Cajun Boudin Blanc.

The Regimental march of the French Foreign Legion is "Le Boudin"

Tiens, voila' du boudin. voila' du boudin, voila' du boudin,

Pour les Alsaciens, les Suisse et les Lorrains,

Pour les Belges, y en a plus, pour les Belges, y en a plus ,

Ce sont des tireurs au cul. ( Bis )

If you like sausage, don't ask what it's made of. - Jimmy Dean.

You'll have to pry that Haggis out o' me cold dead hands. - dinasour

Haggis, chitterlings, sausage, head cheese, souse, and light breads are all wonderful cooked well and served with a red wine or beer. Ambrosia from the gods.....As a former meat packer inspector I believe I can eat anything with a clear concious (unconcious?).

Captain Pbear has piped in many a haggis to the Robbie Burns Dinner. He loves it, especially with whiskey poured over it.

If you normally play golf when the outside temperature is 35F and the rain is coming down sideways a plate of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties will bring you back to life. Especially when accompanied by a burgundy you can stand your fork up in. Gleneagles Hotel in central Scotland serves great haggis.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,

And dish them out their bill o fare,

Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware

That jaups in luggies:

But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,

Gie her a Haggis!
