:tongue-out3: I'm not entering the fight about Marmite but Chris, you've been quite rude about Matron... after all she's a Lady :rolling: ...with a penchant for syringes and a strong old school nurses' attitude. I'd rather face 1000 Mindbenders or a Marmite flood than a single outraged Matron :fearful:.
 
Yep, you really shouldn’t annoy her…….she’s saddling up as we speak….

Hallucinations caused by a deficiency of Marmite I think Chris.

To answer the question about Haggis, the killing of wild Haggis has been illegal for a number of years punishable by life imprisonment in a cage containing a large number of squawking seagulls. However, the farmed variety are quite common now and have been bred with legs of equal length so allowing them to run on any surface as opposed to the wild version that had shorter legs on one side so could only run around one way on sloped ground. I have also heard that if you feed them enough Marmite they will turn into Shortbread complete with tartan box but this has still to be confirmed.

I rather like haggis as long as I don't think too much about the ingredients, but Andy's post has me wondering if a dollop of Marmite would improve it even more.

Talking of haggis. When we lived on the Hebrides my wife and I went on a sporran decorating course run by the famous highland sporran weaver Norrie Two Bonnets. The bothy where we stayed was next to a haggis farm. In the evening we often went down to see the young haggii in their brood pens. They were cute but easily exited and could give you a nasty nip. They were fed on clootie dumpling, deep fried turnips and rumbledethumps which saw them grow rapidly into fully adult haggii in 6 to eight weeks. Once adult the young haggii were allowed out to roam freely across the surrounding peat bogs. The owner of the haggis farm, Jock Strap, had been in the business all his life and he could trace his ancestory way back. There were records showing that Strap family haggii were prized by none other than Robert the Bruce. There is an etching in the National Museum of Scotland showing Robert enjoying haggis and neaps before the Battle of Bannockburn. At the age of 9 months to a year the haggii were rounded up and humanely slaughtered, in the traditional way, with a battered, deep fried claymore.
It's so nice to reminisce on such good times.

Isn't haggis Scottish chitlins? What are neaps?
Click to expand...
Neeps are usually a mixture of turnips and swede, sometimes with parsnips, boiled and mashed. Haggis recipes vary, but includes the 'pluck' of a sheep (heart, lungs and liver) minced, mixed with oats and loads of black pepper, stuffed into the lower intestine of a cow and boiled for a few hours.

Damn Pete, just Swede's??? I really hope you don't add Norwegian's, Dane's or Fin's into the mix........Or???

PaulE, watch the movie "Armageddon" and in the scene where the oil rig worker explains to the NASA Doc that his favorite food is Haggis, what goes into it and how it's cooked.......That will tell you the whole story Buddy!!!...
