Those pictures are really cute!

It's so funny to see him wearing gloves with chopsticks. Wouldn't that be a little bit difficult to pic up the food. I'm very clumsy when it comes to chopsticks.

I'd love to hear him give the Address to the Haggis.............. :D

Address to a Haggis.

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Some of us really don't know what it means, I wish there was an
English translation. Some of the meaning of the words have me
stumped.

Fluffy do you know of a translation

I know its a humorous view of the haggis but hard to understand
for some of us uneducated in scottish linguistics.(hope that's the right word)

hey Fluffy! I'm still waiting for the Haggis to be shipped to me so I can try it.

Can ya air mail it? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's hard to find any cuisine that's from other cultures and countries. Over here it's so expenisve you just would rather eat something else; Like Ramen, lol.
