It's one of those meals that a small amount goes a very long way. It's definately an aquired taste. You can get haggis in cans in certain parts of the US. Quite decent too from what I've heard.

seems that every race/nationality has a dish that calls for an 'acquired taste' such as chitterlings, norwegian krube, korean kimchee, finnish mooyaka, etc. i find it interesting that, once we acquire a taste for them, they become a sort of delicacy. i can't confirm this but i'm told that chop suey originated in san francisco and means leftovers. lol

* i spelled those dishes phonetically, cut me some slack.

Definately not offended,but very amused at the poor attempt at the Scottish accent, it's as bad as some of us lot attempting American accents it just doesn't work. LOL LOL LOL LOL.
It's sad how some folk on youtube can be offended by the least little thing and seem hell bent on causing trouble with every post they make. Believe me I've blocked a number of users over the last three years.

Furry, don't know how far the Brit slang goes north but this conversation happened on the way home, fittingly in my Mini Cooper. I read way too much, like a book a day, and a lot of English books...

Wife.."Oh Dear, I want to look fit when we go to England"

Daughter (who's spent about a year in Kent) "Giggle..Giggle..."

Me.."Mom needs some new kit then..." Now we both are LOA'sO. A lot.

Wife is getting mad...and so the daughter tells her.."Mom fit means for you ..sexy!"

Wife "and kit....????"

Daughter.."well like clothes...gear..."

Now I have to take the wife shopping, I think I'm just sending the two of them and footing the bill..."!

You gotta excuse the wife. 1/2 Scots and 1/2 French. I gotta get her to Colonsay on a Wednesday. 27 of April, or we miss the weekly ferry. You can stay 6 hours though! I hope the other MacNeils appreciate it. I've got the MacDonalds to thank for burning our house and putting us on a boat, just like the Nicholsons did to the rest on Skye. Turns out they did us a favour. I hope we can get haggis in seaweed, there's no seaweed here!

Depends John. This time of year the Haggi tend to be scurrying round the waters edge, once April May comes in The wee b*ggers are up on the hills chasing the stags LOL LOL LOL
Their two left legs are shorter then their two right ones. That means they don't run around the hills lopsided Hah hah. In the year 1275, they gave the Scots a choice of oil or haggi, the oil will run out eventually, but the Scots will aye have their Haggis.
Anyone mad enough to read this and believe it had better get medical help quick

Nothing I've not heard before...the stories of the wild haggi. Some friends of mine, one in particular who's from the West Coast of Scotland has developed a thicker accent in Canada according to others. And he's an expert at the Burns Supper. Wee Willy, the ode and such. Ya canna unnerstand him 'e anglish let alone e bonnie auld scots my trusty frere.

I'm doing my best to harden my legs to walking for our trip. Not much progress, I'm gonna use a stick. Ach well...I'll see some sights anyway.

Once done in the highlands we are headed to France see if it's true that French Ragout makes you spew.

But, mark the rustic, haggis-fed;
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Grasp in his ample hands a flail
He'll make it whistle,
Stout legs and arms that never fail,
Proud as the thistle.

You powers that make mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill of fare.
Old Scotland wants no stinking ware,
That slops in dishes;
But if you grant her grateful prayer,
Give her a haggis!

john, i certainly hope you get to meet graham over in that beautiful part of the world. i know you want to walk it but consider one of those electric scooters in the event you tire out. they are reasonably priced, about 300 loonies, for an adequate model. that would keep you on the ice longer. please take lots of pics to share with us. if you jam with graham, get us some good audio on your digital recorder.

I'm supposed to go over to the shopping mall today for a 'stroll' It's -3F this morning so I'm waiting. A storm is coming and it's going up to 30F by supper. You should see all the Canuck seniors who use the mall as a way to walk without dealing with the snow. The plow went by during the night and the road is smooth now, but I can't get my feet cold or I have problems. Why did I ever think I needed to save all that money so I could have a good time and then find out I have these limitations. Always wanted to see Paris in the springtime, and we are almost there. I just need to get some mobility back. I finally have accepted the deafness. I have quit telling people I'm sorry for not getting what they say, why am I sorry? I've learned the art of quizzical facial expressions. The not feeling my fingertips or feet and the associated burning is driving me mad. Only about 10 percent of people who had my type of cancer make it a year, and I'm 2 months short of a year now, so I'm hoping things keep on the level. And I've people to visit in England, Scotland, the Netherlands and France. Very cool. I've got the tickets, the first hotel booked and all the maps and guidebooks.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
