[Sca-cooks] Haggis: [Fwd: News of the Weird]

[Elaine Koogler]

I had haggis in Scotland, and again at a Bobbie Burns Day dinner here in
Southern Maryland, and loved it both time.  And I HATE oatmeal!!  It was
seasoned very nicely both times I've tried it.  I can only imagine that what
you had wasn't very well-made....
