Haggis = Scottish term for Botulism.

also known in some regions as Salmonella Surprise.

My wife's a long time vegetarian ( I try not to hold it against her) and swears by Mc Sweens vegetarian haggis, albeit washed down with some Glenmorangie.

My wife's a long-time vegetarian as well (which makes me one by default, at least for the most part ); we'll have to give it a try sometime!

I'm sorry but I don't find joking about that even remotely funny. Problems with Haggis do not derive from the product but with the handling and packaging when care is not taken. The same problem can affect other meat products that are vacuum packed as well if the proper procedures are not followed.

Don't take it that seriously Chef, I don't find it that funny either (as I believe anyone that has worked in the Restaurant Industry would) but LK-13 was trying to be light-hearted.

If we said something derogatory about paintball, his back would go up!

It's possible that he's never had good haggis! (and don't say there is no good haggis LK-13)

Your probably right, but as someone who makes a measurable amount of their income from Haggis and related activities, it cuts a bit too close and doesn't come across as light-hearted.
