Address To A Haggis, Robert Burns (continued)
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An' cut you up wi' ready sleight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin', rich!

Good stuff. My youngest daughter did a study abroad in Stirling. She likes haggis.

My late uncle was an enlisted Navy pilot in WW2 - he flew Corsairs.

Really, I though Navy flew Hellcats and Marines flew Corsairs. I think later in the war the Navy flew the Corsairs. I think there were early carrier landing problems. In WWII my father was a Marine.

He was Navy; I may be mistaken about the aircraft Later, he was a test pilot (as in checking aircraft after the shop finished with them) at Pax River NAS.

Haggis is horrifying.

It's OK. It's pretty bland since it's mostly oatmeal.

The Scotch makes it palatable.

Single malt for me please.

 

[snowbear95]

Yes.

I would have been tempted to try it, but it was in a can.

I used to travel a lot. Whenever in a foreign country at least for one meal I'd find an indigenous, locals only, type eatery. Then I'd order the item with the most letters on the menu ... and consume it. It was a game I played ... most of the times I lost.

Single malt for me please.

Of course. I mostly ignore the existence of the blended stuff. Sometimes I'll have blended "Scotch" mixed with ginger ale or something if I'm offered a drink and my only options are that and Yellow Tail (ew, ew, ew, ew).

I've blended mine with a couple of ice cubes.

I've also used single malt a s coffee sweetener.

Crap - my leg is bleeding.

Typically neat pour moi. I'm a purist ... or just lazy. Being a purist sounds better than lazy.

Some Scotch can open up nicely with a cube or a splash of water. Depends on what you're drinking.
