Another pointless thread

Lucky you - I have my weekend planned as - fit new brakes (pads and discs) to the car, go to see my new niece who arrived 6am this morning (I like this bit ) - watch the england rugby game with my dad whilst trying not to make too many daft comments about his recently reconstucted hand following his error with his circular saw, help mum with stuff my dad can't do then for Sunday

Take the little fella to football training (am) - quick walk with my mate and his dog and back in time for the more important rugby game whilst not eating bacon hock butties as by better half is on a diet

I have been supporting her with her diet and eating less - drinking less alcohol - not snacking etc and yet the scales tell me that I am the same fat b*****d I was before hand

I am planning a bout of greadiness for the last game of the six nations - beer and bacon hocks - woo hoo

You will find it as soon as you seriously start looking for something else

You can drink a pint of Haggis? With a whisky chaser, I would assume!

a Suntory whisky or perhaps a Sanitory whisky with reference to the taste?

Haggis is an English dish but I like PIES!

Coffee cup found .

It was on top of the radiator. No idea how it got there but it is nice and warm now .

Rugby will be watched here, tomorrow at least. We have the grandsons all day on Sunday so there will be little chance of him watching it then.

I like pies too, but I have to make them myself.

Off to make some hot and sour soup now though.

I've also heard a theory that it's Egyptian.

But nothing Scottish is Scottish:

Bagpipes are Roman or Irish.
Tartan is Austrian.
Whisky is from Iraq.

But we can claim Irn Bru, deep fried mars Bars, The Beano and the telephone. Oops, just remembered the telephone was invented by an Italian!

Nah It was Alexander Graham Bell frae Edinburgh, surely

Surprise, surprise you're right about the haggis, Algy! According to that font of knowledge, Wikipedia "The first known written recipe for a dish of the name (as 'hagese'), made with offal and herbs, is in the verse cookbook Liber Cure Cocorum dating from around 1430 in Lancashire"
That explains why we Scots are so fond of taking our holidays at Blackpool perhaps

What is the difference between hagis ans white pudding?

I don't know and probably don't care Barrie.

Re-cap:- The last Kodak I bought was a Pony 828 link

First car was an Austin A35.

I hate phones, they ring when you're in the middle of something and it's usually 'Alan' with a strong Indian accent trying to sell double glazing/ insurance/ money advice( loans at 10,000%!)

rant over, this weekend I shall be mostly working..

.. followed closely by drinking..

White Pudding is delicious and can be eaten straight from the shop, haggis is something else

...something else indeed! Chew on this! F. Marian McNeill - The Scots Kitchen, its lore and recipes. A classic and as much a source of folklore and history as a culinary reference. First published in 1929. 300+ pages. Published by Grafton Books, 8 Grafton St, London, W1X 3LA. ISBN 0-586-20784-8. Grafton books is a division of Collins, Glasgow. Just about every recipe has a tale, saying, poem, song or bit of history printed with it (the occasional one in Gaelic; with translation). F. Marian MacNeill was a historian by profession. McNeill's book gives several recipes for haggis, including Haggis Royal: Mutton, suet, beef-marrow, bread-crumbs or oatmeal, anchovies, parsley, lemon, pepper, cayenne, eggs, red wine.

anchovies, in Scotland.. I don't think so

Depends on your post code- how's about Balmoral Castle
Kippers morelike, actually
