And I am not going to repeat any of them - unless of course someone donates an incredibly large amount of dosh to S@H, in which case I might be tempted...

Last modified: 12 May 2013, 21:05:56 UTC You can with a large hammer, but it still tastes horrible .... I assume you have tasted proper haggis. Several years ago I was staying in Scotland for a course and haggis was on the menu. Also staying there was the Scottish area manager, a real Scot who ordered the haggis the first night so I asked him if it was "real haggis" he said it was pretty good, so I tried it an liked it, but have not had it since, Hmm perhaps a visit north of the border is on the horizon.
