Well it has been a wonderful season.
It ends today at 3pm GMT.
I hope some of you have enjoyed the hunting as much as I have.
To celebrate I will have some haggis for breakfast.
I think quite a few of the slain haggi will be consumed at
Ferintosh this weekend.

I spotted a few, and I'm sure I saw one nip into a shop on Buchanan Street for some chips and mushy peas!

Baxter's the soup people appear to have had a good season too!

So much so that they were able to export their surplus "bag" to a Welsh supermarket!

Indeed it has been a bumper season for haggis hunting.
Our local Morrisons have been selling them for just £1 (50 cents).
Perfect for tonight's meal.

Now if Burns' mother had married Jamie Fish would we all be having a Fish Supper?

Ok, I like haggis, I love neeps and tatties, but I draw the line at eating Swedes, I'm not a freekin' canibal.

(Ok someone want to tell me what swede is)

A swede is another name for a Rutabaga. Rutabaga is a vegetable similar in appearance and taste to a turnip except it has yellow flesh instead of white. In Scotland swedes are often eaten instead of turnip, and are referred to as "neeps" or "turnips", as on the packet illustrated where the swede content is referred to as "neeps". White fleshed turnips are more commonly used for feeding sheep.

Got it. I knew that a rutabaga was a neep (yellow turnip), but had never heard the term sweed before. Both the products above had swede listed and I was a little worried.
