a righte an' pithy question
as this day Danny learnes
it matters not what's cookin'
as long as nothin' "burns!"

I am not sure what I will be cookin.. but I will break out my bottle of Dalwhinne  and raise a toast to my Grandfather.. the next to last thing he did before he died was give the toast to the Haggis  at the Burns dinner...  ( the last thing he did was make a suggestive offcolour joke to one of the other ladies sitting at his table  about his kilt     ) He collapsed shorty after that but how better for a Scotsman to go 

Being from the land down under and never had to celebrate before     I will make an exception this year and crack open my Chivas Regal that I received for xmas.     And toast the anniversary of his birth...

Surely there is only one way to celebrate Burns Night!

Its a pity that Burns Night this year also co-incides with the Chinese New Year celebrations - maybe I'l have to do haggis wontons or steamed buns

Supper has really go to feature Haggis - "great chieftain o' the puddin' race", served with bashed tatties and neeps, accompanied by a not so wee dram.

About the only variation allowed is whether the tatties and neeps are served separately, or mashed together to form Clapshot.

Just as an aside, I noticed when buying a haggis this week that there was also "vegetarian haggis" on offer - which is seriously weird! Almost as bad as the "Vegetarian Black Pudding" next to it!

we like haggi in my family, but it is not easy to find good Haggi local, or we would be eating haggi on Sunday.
