Some folks might say they wouldn't eat haggis unless they were drunk...

So have I when I've had it. Like a lot of organ meat dishes though,
very rich in taste.

It has been at least a month or two since we discussed haggis. :-) For
those interested in trying some haggis recipes, perhaps for the
holidays, this file has a number of recipes from period ones to some
non-period variants. Including some vegetarian haggis. Surprisingly,
the older ones I have seem to be of this style.
