Burns Night is Saved!

The haggis arrived today. Well, one of the haggises arrived today (I ordered one from each butcher to compare/contrast quality).

Stocked up on haggis, neeps, tatties, whisky, tons of beer and various other beverages.

I think a barrel of cider is still on the "to buy" list. But then, there is 10 of us.

Gonna be goooood (incl poem recital by Scottish citizens).

eta: woops, forgot to wish you a grand night too!!

Niiiice! Have a lovely evening! I am going to buy the supplies tomorrow night.

Unfortunately, the poems will be mangled by Merkans.

When it comes to reading "Ode to a Mouse," I can't say I've ever acquitted myself well.

One cannot have enough haggis on hand.

Very true words.

Aha! so we'll all be haggised up on Friday!

Have a blast!

Glad haggis was found at last. Maybe some Mongolian BBQ will magically follow in a few days?

I don't want to push my luck too much. :p

Let us know how many people actually eat it:p

(I assume you're telling folks what's in it if they don't know?)

Well, there's me. and Doug...

Actually I think Bill will also try some. The rest, I will be surprised. My Merkan friends are jessies.

You get haggis at your butcher's? I am highly impressed. We do not even get the tinned variety in a big supermarket.

We're going to a College Ceilidh tonight, and there will be haggis too. Whisky will have to wait till Saturday though, that's when we'll visit the Auchentoshan distillery.

Well, the butcher is in southern new jersey. which is definitely not local. I had to order it, and they shipped it on ice. But at least they are close enough that shipping it on ice works, and we can get freshly made haggis instead of tinned.

Have fun at the ceilidh!

"Give us a haggis!!!"

[identity profile] xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com 2008-01-24 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
clapshot on the side?

[identity profile] fenryng.livejournal.com 2008-01-25 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
The good news - I actually know what haggis is, although I wish I didn't.

The bad? news - I only know this from the first (and as some would claim, the only) Highlander movie. Heh.

haggis is good stuff! we will make you some when you visit!

Shouldn't the plural be Haggi? Haggae? Hmm.
