Oooh I love haggis    especially when it's wild  We got the tinned variety once years ago and when OH opened the tin it exploded all over him 

and cranachan is yummy too..............

[jaypo]

Lorne sausage is a square sausage clkd
Red pudding is also a kind of sausage (dread to think whats in it tbh) but I used to get one as a special treat from the chippy

[CLKD]

... and that thing that lives in a cave - Cranachan ? 

[Songbird]

Ooh, nothing better than a roll with lorne sausage and tattie scone!
I'd rather have tiramisu than cranachan
 (whisky  )

[Marchlove]

You gals are the best! 
You lost me after haggis, but it’s been fun trying to decipher the culinary tips! 

I’m a Somerset lass, but the whole of the UK are my kith and kin

Isn’t this forum brilliant? I don’t know about anyone else but I love having a laugh with you girls and, I agree, Marchlove, I feel like we are kith and kin (from John ‘O’ Groats to Land’s End)  …..
I feel a song coming on……….

Being gf I can't have cranachan now  I remember it was on the menu on our cruise and the Indian waiter was such a laugh,he said.....hope I don't offend you but we call it the cold scotch porridge
