Maybe there are both sorts of even legged ones then. Certainly the one I had was fine.

Polchraine my friend - I am always angered when good people like yourself are conned by ne`er do well Scots tricksters ( and butchers ) into thinking that you have something you haven`t just to make your holiday more special !
Pictured are the - admittedly rare - Lesser Highland Buck Toothed Rugrats - usually hunted for their fine pelts to make dress sporrans for the Lairds.They should really not be eaten as they contain traces of Lucky Heather and Thistle which are not good for the digestive system of the human being.
The SDP ( Scottish Dinner Party ) usually would marinate them after skinning ( leave the entrails in ) and cook over a log fire on a traditional spit roast or Lallypull - basted with malt whisky and covered in oatmeal, these little critturs are a tasty addition to the crofters usual fayre when they are out Nessying or looking for the elusive Sassenach Daytripper ! I hope this clears up any mistakes and will help you to catalogue your cookery book more correctly with the right captions for the photos.
Dinner time now - only chicken and new potatoes and corn on the cob,I fear , with a light Chardonnay before tomorrow`s trek South to the tribes of E.Sussex.
Until Wednesday
Tony

As for holiday - next time you venture north of the border on one, you can buy me a pint or three in the Grouse Inn on the Cabrach - just a few miles from my Scottish residence.

I`d love to my friend - but I`m a Scouser born and bred - without the accent !
I went to Scotland once 1969 - from Torquay by train - 36 hours to Edinburgh - maybe I`ll get to go again one day !!

Well Polchraine, I never realised haggis were a distant relative of the elephant. One learns something new every day .
Only been to Scotland once. I hope to go back sometime. I'm even happy to go back to the same bit of Scotland for part of it. Just sitting looking at Loch Fyne was a great, if a bit soggy holiday. The beer was good too.

Loch Fyne - know for good quality shell fish, even though there are plenty of signs saying it is not fit to eat which are there to stop the tourists and also the "sound range" used for sonar calibration - I did some work on RNLN submarines up there. It is also used for occasional torpedo firing.

Presumably after a torpedo firing, the fresh fish supply is particularly plentiful.

We were near the head of the loch so no subs lurking there. Also an excellent microbrewery just along from Loch Fyne Oysters.
Some fabulous restaurants around the area too.
I think I want to go back again soon.

Are you sure ... some of the boats can get quite far up

When the tide was out there was very little water there - and when it was in there was a bit more, but unless it was a mini sub I don't think one would be there. But who knows??
I'd have to get husband to borrow some equipment from work to take on holiday so we could find out, and I don't think they'd allow that .
We stayed on Strachur bay, delightful place. I had to learn to cook on an AGA though .

If it's hot it'll cook anything, if it isn't hot, have a salad!
Last nights curry was spectacular.
We visited a new(ish) resteraunt in Saltaire which actually has a Michelin star!

Well deserved too.
Unlike our local curry house that only has Michelin tyres, on the cars I may add...

Michelin Star? Not according to the Michelin site.

I was only going on the star on the door as we went in!
It definitely is in the Michelin guide though, but I can't find the web site!!!

We after the Righthand Highland Blakcantans...
The best Hagi(?) actually have even length legs. These are the fittest of the herd which manage to get to the top of the hill.
It is similar with pasties where I come from.
But, the best are those with long front legs - they are the ones that bound straight up the hill and then come down again - the longer front legs help them keep their balance whilst running down.
