Hmm, haggis, chips and a pickled egg smothered in HP brown sauce(bread optional) washed down with a pint of chateaux de Buckfast. I'm getting homesick over Scottish cuisine.

I think it takes a level of maturity and self confidence to remove all restrictions on freedom of speach. There are many things that even the most committed anti-censorship people don't want to talk about. don't you agree baba??

I got into an argument last month about haggis. Some Turks tried to tell me that they were the only people in the world who knew how to cook sakatat properly. I love my haggis and will defend it whenever the need arises.

We also like tripe, tripe soup, trotter soup and anything that is made by Benedictine monks ie Buckie.
