    I managed to catch my Haggis last night so looking forward to my tea tonight.

    Happy Burn's night to you all.

    Enjoy.

    I love it, old mate, and am quite envious.

    Didn't realise it was Burns night, but as coincidence would have it I spotted a tin of Haggis in Aldi while shopping on Friday. You heard right, a tin. Come to think of it, it was on one of their 'specials' shelves, no doubt placed there because it is Burns night, but that completely passed me by. I thought, "I bet that's ******* grim, I'll have it." So, now I know it's Burns night, I'll be joining you in eating some haggis. I bet yours is nicer than mine.

    Shouldn't that be 'date' instead of 'tea'

    Eh? And how did you find out about this mate? I was only invited to join the little lady yesterday.

    Now I'm worried.

    I don't see why Haggis is so popular, it's just spicy mince.

    It's ok but not special

    You're possibly right there mate but I think it's the copious amount of drinking which accompanys it that might be the attraction.

    I think free range haggis tastes much better than the battery reared.:)
