Another contribution to Scotland's long list of dangerous foodstuffs.This one is actually safer though, as it only breaks teeth and no one inDumfriesshire has any teeth. They live on the edge down there.Or non est vivere sed valere vita est as they like to say. Atleast I think they do. A mouthful of celebrated boilings makecomprehension a tad tricky.

Moffatis pretty nondescript though. If it wasn't for their 'celebratedboilings' I doubt many people would know about it!

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

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