The Australian kids grow up eating vegemite and I've tried it, Scottish kids must grow up eating haggis for reasons they know not I.
The haggis is better, but that's not saying much.
It was a travel dare Mike, spot on!

Haggis is essentially eviscerated sheep floor sweepings. How anyone can bring themselves to eat it, save in the throes of a massive drunken bet is utterly beyond me. It's a throwback to the times when people here used to eat the bits of animals everyone else makes shoes from. The only thing with less nutrition is the plastic bag within which you carried it home from the shop. It tastes like death and when it's cooking it smells like a river of shit has just been diverted through your kitchen.

Hey haggis isn't bad, but would be better if one didn't know what it was made of, hahahaha.

Moffat is pretty nondescript though. If it wasn't for their 'celebrated boilings' I doubt many people would know about it!

"Celebrated boilings"? Surely, you can't leave it there! WTF IS a celebrated boiling? And how does it differ from a normal boiling? Does it involve lashings of neeps and tatties to accompany whatever it is that has been boiled and then celebrated? Hopefully, it doesn't involve haggis...

And there you have it, my friends. The conversation has come full circle. We should soon know what's after supper -- at least in Moffat.
