Title: Hello from Scotland!
Post by: stacer on December 01, 2002, 11:17:28 AM

Not much time left on this internet kiosk, but just thought I'd drop a line and say hi. Having a great time! I went to Campbeltown out on the Kintyre peninsula, did some family history--actually a LOT of family history, and now I'm in Glasgow taking in the sights. Hello to all you UK people I'm probably passing on the street and not even knowing it. Gotta go!

Glad you like Scotland Stacer.  I've never been there, but I've been all over Ireland.  It's a beautiful place.  Have fun and enjoy the haggis!!

I actually tried haggis at the b&b my first morning, and it wasn't bad. Not something I'd have often, but pretty good. She gave me black pudding with the same breakfast, and it was very similar.

So haggis is sort of like black pudding? I've never heard of the stuff.

haggis is various meats and spices and stuff cooked in  a sheep's stomach (now in a plastic bag)
and it is nice, especially with turnip and mashed potato

No worries. I'm an idiot often enough to accept the name without too much sting in my pride. Reference the HAPPY THANKSGIVING thread if you need further evidence.
