Maurice wrote on his twitter website 'on my way to Burns Dinner with DeMarcus Beasley... should be an interesting night, LOL, definitely not wearing a kilt and I have never tried haggis, and its not likely that it will happen tonight either'

so there is lots of work to be done with these two boys while they are playing in the dark side of Glasgow

Why is there work to be done? It was a club function so they had to be there. They're not Scottish, so they weren't going to wear kilts, no big deal, and to be honest, how many of you want to eat haggis?

Much Ado about nothing.

Several of my friends tried it with me, but they didn't care for it. I can't say much about the two Americans not wanting to try the haggis. My sister (who is now 26) doesn't care to try things that are unfamiliar to her either... especially if they involve parts of an animal that most Americans haven't had in their diet for 30+ years.

I will say this about American culture: since the 60's we've been limiting more and more the varied diet that we eat. I'm not going to say anything furthur than that becuase it could get political, and I discourage anyone else from doing so. As an American, and the lack of a varied diet, I always jump at the opportunity to try foods that are foreign to me, but that's me. Not everyone is as adventurous.
