Ultimate Burns Night Blunder??

Indeed. Inquiring minds want to know.

Apologies for not mentioning it.

The wife of the emcee will be making it herself. I have tasted her haggis before and it is grand. The amazing thing? She and her husband are vegetarians!

How they make it so well I do not know. But they do.

Ah - looks like you have it handled then - well done!

For the past 6 or 7 years, I have been an attendee (and the haggis procession piper for 2 of those) at the Heather & Thistle Society's Rabbie Burns Supper. The Supper is hosted by that year's H&TS chieftain, but the event is planned by a past chieftain. One year, we lost our usual haggis butcher and ordered from another maker. After inspection, the hotel chef refused to cook and serve the haggis because he discovered that some of it was tainted. It was the first year that the haggis was literally declared "NOT fit to eat", by the chieftain. The chieftain did so with some embarrassment but mostly in good humor; but, he also took a lot a grief for it later even though it was not his fault.

That's too bad, haggis isn't something that you can run down to your local supermarket and replace at the last minute. Especially in a small-ish town.

At least the chief had humor about it!

It was enough haggis to serve 500+ people. Can you imagine the rubbish/garbage for that night?

Make your own.

Here's how I do it.

Now that's a way to think like a resourceful Scot!
