FYI: Burns Night is coming up

[Scout26]

25 Jan.  So start gathering your ingredients to make a Haggis or six.   They freeze well.

To quote SNL:  "All Scottish cuisine is based on a dare."

Just remember - "Scotch eggs" are not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_egg

The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738,[1][2] but they may have been inspired by the Moghul dish nargisi kofta ("Narcissus meatballs").[3]
The earliest printed recipe is the 1809 edition of Mrs. Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery. Mrs. Rundell—and later 19th-century authors—served them hot, with gravy.[/quote

I have a feeling that the Mogols (screw the "h"!) did not boil their eggs first.

stay safe.

I love Haggis.  I had the real thing (straight from Scotland) a few years ago.

When my former manager was making his first trip from Scotland to the US to visit us, he asked if there was anything he could bring over (he was going to arrive during our office Thanksgiving party where we were going to fry a couple turkeys).  Two of us responded immediately "Haggis!". :D

Something invented in a London department store (based upon an Iranian dish) is NOT Scottish.

While definitely not Scottish, I lurves me some Kate Bush.

I liked her fine until I heard her

YMMV, of course.

I've been a fan since the early 1980s, the animated GIF posted above came from her awesome Hammersmith Odeon concert in 1979.

IOW, I'd Scotch her eggs in a New York Minute.

Now that's a rare bit of an excuse.
