'Scotch' is still in occasional use in England, and common use in North America, where its usage may be considered archaic but is not necessarily pejorative.
Non Scottish friends our ours used to do this every year. Thats where i had my first taste of haggisdand although i didnt like the look of it, it tasted bloody lovely!
When i got married at Gretna i bought one home with me to cook! yummy!
25th of January is what is called Burns night to celebrate the poet Robbie Burns .If you want more detail just type Robert Burns And I am Scottish born but been left a long long time and I have a party Sat with Haggis neeps and tatties and believe it or not everyone that is coming is English and they love it .Been doing these parties for years.
I will be having Grants tinned haggis tomorrow night with the traditional accompaniment of baked beans and brown rice, chilli sauce and white pepper.
Tinned haggis is unique - it's the only can I have ever met which you have to open at BOTH ends. Having done this and pushed the wee haggis oot, the next thing you do is to mash it to a pulp with a fork.
How many Scottosh people read his works now and how many Scottish people can recite more than a verse of his? I can recite several extracts of Shakepeare, a few of Wordworth's poems, quite a few of heaney's and probably a Sylvia Plaith if i thought hard enough
Alright then so corned beef gets opened at both ends as well, but what gets me about the haggis is that having opened both ends and gently pushed it out whole, the next thing you do is macerate it. What is the point the noo?
