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

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.
