Memories (T)

Today Anita threw out the tin of vegetarian haggis we bought shortly after we got married. It never was quite the right time to eat it.

Well according to Wikipedia, Haggis itself is the heart, liver and lungs of a sheep with a few spices and oatmeal all boiled in the animal's stomach. Little of which immediately lends itself to a vegetarian alternative, and as we've thrown out the can I guess we'll never know. But you can probably see why we never tried it.

I served some of my vegie gaggis to lunch visitors today AND THEY ATE IT. I only just got it past customs. Haggis must be tinned, but they realized just in time that mine was vegetarian. I loved the true haggis in Edinburgh, but that was before I read that Wikipedia thing saying what's in it.

I had haggis in scotland, in the rain, on the magical, mysterious west coast, in a little pub...
"I want some haggis", i said
"aye" replied the barman, serving me up a delicious platter...
