I always cook it for hubby (and Co) and once tried vegetarian haggis which was a wholly unnecessary gesture as my napkins taste nicer ... But I love tatties and neeps, preferably creamed with lots of butter and coarsely ground pepper ....
But my favourite bit of Burns' night (after the delights of the recital and stabbing) is Athol Brose ... that is the heavenly pud!
You're married to a Jock I thought you hated the British
My best bits of Burns' night is the Haggis then straight into the Whiskey
Never have understood the recital
Where have I ever said I hate the British?
Your problem is you believe the hype above the reality.
The only ones I hate are the Turks ... and only because they directly tried to KILL me, and later divided my country and ethnically cleansed 40% of it from my compatriots
The Brits were nasty ... but they have some redeeming points ....
Was it not you that posted this - "But simply a bunch of uneducated thugs that had to be kept off the streets of England!"...................................

Is that the worst you could come up with ... you really have been duped
Erm and what have a few British squaddies (of the 50s Cypriot Colonial era) got to do with all of today's Scotland, England Wales etc!
