Its Burns day today so there will be people going to Burns suppers to celebrate the life of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. At Burns suppers they serve Haggis and its not to long ago that people actually holidayed in Scotland and asked where they could hunt for the Haggis. Have a look at the story
Hunting Haggis In The Highlands.

Burns night is my favourite night of the year.

But then, I am an arsonist.

At least I think that's what they called me.

Hey Spectrum, love your city - lived there some 3 years - in the West End and for a wee time across the Clyde in Govan. Loved it, cherished my time in Glasgow. Do miss Glasgow (not the snow though which was the strangest snow, very hard to make decent snowballs with it) - in the winter of '93 maybe, it snowed and I watched a few Asian students try to make snowballs out of the snow - they were so excited, poor things - I didn't have the heart to tell them that it was the worst snow for making snow balls I had ever seen. Still, Glasgow's wet weather made short of the snow.

I like Haggis. It's lovely.

The wife dug one out of the old freezer yesterday when we were transferring stuff to the new freezer. (Sorry Fergus)

It said 'Best before Jan 2008' on the label.

Will it still be fit to eat?
