    Yes many times - fried in batter from the chippy.

    And haggis live on hills - male haggi' have the left legs shorter than the right and the females have the right legs shorter than the left - they live on hills and obviously the males can only go one way round due to the short legs - the ladies the other.

    It's true that.

      A haggis and bacon roll washed down with Irn Bru is a great kickstarter after a night out north of the Border.
      Branding it as British rather than Scottish though?
      Could possibly have looked at doing it differently.

        The company just got free advertising in the Wail, along with news media.

        Anyway, I've just looked at their products and they don't appear to know the difference between "Scotch" and "Scottish", but then again, they are primarily dealing with an export market, so maybe feel that it's irrelevant.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            A good point. It also pains me, as a resident of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury (although with a Manchester postcode I hasten to add), to concede that haggis is superior to black pudding.

              Yep, it's lovely. But then I'm from the Black Country where scratchings, grey peas & bacon and faggots are our regional favourites, so maybe I'm not the best judge
              I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

                Did she pursue the hirsute look to avoid over exciting Alex?
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  What on Earth is or was a Danny Boy? A small garrulous Irishman you can wield in battle to talk your opponent to death?

                    Where eagles dare, you'll find that Broadswords and Danny Boys go together well.

                      I'd hate to be asked to choose between them , myself.
                      They're both ambrosia IMHO
