Strong stuff




Burns Night is inescapable at this time of year. From the ethical, locally sourced produce at Earthy to the mass market of major supermarket chains, haggis is all around.

I was interested to read a report on the BBC website that authentic haggis is a banned foodstuff in the USA. The problem is one of its ingredients - lungs. So when I was doing the supermarket shop today I did a quick ingredient check and sure enough, lungs are the first-named item.

I was amused by the usual nanny-state instruction, 'Ensure product is pip[ing hot before serving].' I liked to think that it might say instead 'Ensure product is piped in before serving.'





Oh dear, I am such a bad blogger at the moment. I have several excuses, one of which I'll show you shortly.
