Yes, I know many want to skip the preliminaries and go for the Scotch.

Any man making the toast should tread with care, since it is followed by a reply from the women.

The best haggis recipe is any one where the last step is “Dump it in the rubbish bin”.

Husband and I went to Scotland for 2 weeks last September. Haggis was on the menu everywhere, especially for breakfast. It looks worse than it smells and I can’t even imagine how bad it must taste.

Have you ever read a recipe for haggis? I have. It’s so disgusting, just reading the recipe makes me want to throw up LOL!

Just watched the movie “Genius” (about Thomas Wolfe) on HBO. It had as one of its main musical theme underlaying much of the movie, the traditional melody that Robert Burns wrote as “Flow Gently Sweet Afton.”

Who was Robert Burns and what is the best haggis recipe?

He was a poet and the best haggis recipe follows.

Take one haggis, open one bottle of Scotch.

Drink the Scotch and use the haggis for target practice.
