I remember going on the whisky trail on Spayside in the 80s- great fun.

I noticed but I'm a great believer in not correcting speeling misteaks

2 very large, fat and healthy looking foxes, wandering across the Plots this afternoon, tried to photograph them, but they just kind of walked off, watching me all the time, bit spooky, no one else was there.

Whoops sorry,put that post in wrong place, shouldn't be under Burns night, if I knew how I'd move it to general chitchat, sorry.

Nor do I mind a thread going astray. Tis what spawned the Tangentisation thread

I do quite like haggis (although not with boozy sauce as I find that too strong) and also like neeps and tatties but don't feel any connection with Burns night so not for tonight. Had a lovely curried goat though

Does an overcooked Cheese and Onion Pastie count for Burns night? It was a bit burnt at the edges

[Aberdeenplotter]

fair fau yer honest sauncey face, great chieftain oh the cheese and onion pastie race. nah, disnae work

[Glutton4...]

Oooooh Alison - I love Curry Goat!

We had roast chicken, and overcooked veg, as Hubby wasn't concentrating. I bit into an overcooked (VERY overcooked) Parsnip, then burst out laughing. He glared at me, and apologised for the burnt veg. I couldn't tell him it was Burns night until I'd finished laughing. He did see the funny side.

Tandoori chicken eaten, now time for a wee whiskey in honour of Rabbie Burns.

My daddy (being a Scot) loved Burns night- sadly meat and whisky are off my menu. Never mind, I can still observe it in other ways

[Snadger]

Forgot to get my haggis and Tesco's were sold out.

Anyway, had to make do with black pudding,cumberland sausage and neeps (small swedes from the allotment).
It twas very filling, and dare I say it, tastier than the scottish stuff!

Couldn't find my Rabbie Burns poetry book to read........sad, because I really enjoy his poetry! Wee sleekit cowerin beastie an al that.
