#2 I love Enter The Haggis! My dream concert ticket would be to a double bill of EtH and Off Kilter.

#3 Haggis story from Canuckistan:

I ambushed some friends at a Christmas Eve dinner by my contribution to the menu of some red and green stuffed peppers. The red and green are Christmas colors, yes? The stuffing was haggis.

I waited until everyone at the table had committed themselves to saying how delicious the stuffed peppers were before I dropped the bombshell.

The room became very quiet after that.

#5 The Scots eat lots of haggis, the French eat snails and frogs
The Greeks throw kakis on their mousakis, and the Chinese love hot dogs
The Welshmen love to have a leek, the Irish like their stew
But you just can't beat that half-cooked meat at an Aussie barbeque

#6 Canuckistan sniper, a great story!

Mr. Lotp & I attended a propoer Burns dinner a while ago, complete with the piping in of the freshly made haggis. Now, I confess I'd rather eat fresh trout from cold Scottish mountain streams, hot from the fire, but the haggis wasn't a bad runner up.

Of course the Whisky might have had something to do with that, although I sipped only a bit.
