What's not to dance about? The Haggis is done.
There's an awesome ' poetical cook book ' of the era. Some genius scoured poet references to food and dug up recipes for them. Guess what Burns managed to include in one of his? Whomever compiled the collection made a small blunder- please, please, it's ' Scots ', not ' Scotch '. Oh well, the recipe looks right.
" Trenching your gushing entrail bright ". Burns was having some fun- hadn't come across this poem before.
It's an unlikely recipe to have found favor in camp. Please note with all this Scots DNA I've never been intrepid enough to try it either. Still, from what I can find Haggis made the trip across The Pond along with all our tartans and sheep. When you ask my mother about Haggis she'll give you an ice blue stare that forbids further conversation. There's a story there somewhere.
I ' think ' ' draught ' is anything residing in intestines on butchering day.
Thank you, Mrs. MacIver. Maybe.
