Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
To my fellow scots, around the world from here in Dunrobin Canada
Wait a sec, Tillerman should be disqualified for misidentifying whisky (sp).
Tillerman should be disqualified for knowing everything and having too many hats.
Don should be disqualified for apostrophe abuse.
I think haggis must be the frostbite sailing of the culinary world, JP.
I'll never understand its appeal, but wonder at those who have the stomach for it.
And I can understand why either must be followed quickly by a few drams of Scotch.
I tried like hell to find haggis today. I'm sure I'd enjoy it seeing I also like things like scrapple and head cheese.
Sorry about the gag reflex there. Not the offal, but the neeps. BAN NEEPS NOW!
And parsnips....
Phew! Was going to be one hat down when Tillerman cracked all 7 questions but luckily he blew it with his spelling whisky with an additional e.
So Tillerman gets glory but also invitation to stay after class to practice his Scottish while Don gets runner's up glory.
O'Docker - strongly recommend a bit of Haggis. A wee dram can indeed help - its a classic combination of tastes.
Chris - it's part of the package: you have to have haggis, neeps and tatties!!
Remember:
"Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae let the Lord be thankit"
Those of you in south London over the weekend would have seen an additional treat - JP dancing some Scottish reels!
potato's, carrote's & one grenade...
