While in Scotland last month I had a bowl of Shark Fin Soup and it was great!

And no, I did not have any Haggis.

In New Zealand I had some kind of fish that is supposed to be a delicacy, it is a small fish, chopped into a paste & fried in a pattie & its for breakfast. Ugh! It tasted like bait! Was it White Fish? Some New Zealander help me out.

Good choice. Haggis is awful stuff. I've read that a recent food fad in Scotland is batter-dipped, deep fried Mars bars.

I ate the Haggis
By and by Hallelujah

I ate the Haggis, Now I
Feel like a cat on the warm hood
of a car that's just done driving
on a cold winter's day hey hey

Brought to me from Scotland
with a fiver I can't spend
got directions on the can
to serve it up with a wee dram

A wee dram of Irish Whiskey
on a cold winter's day
Lamb, oats and Suet
boiled in the stomach of a sheep

I ate the Haggis
By and by Hallelujah

I ate the Haggis now my
Father used to tell me
Don't go pissin on the apples
that have fallen from the tree

cause you'll see that when yer hungry
and yer backs against the wall
a fallen apple ain't so bad
to eat

I ate the Haggis by and by
Hallelujah.

MP3 of Jimmy singing The Pogues' Waxie's Dargle at Jovitas in Austin ('cause I could'na find Tha Haggis).

Whoa! I was in Scotland last month too!

I ate a lot of chip-shop haggis as well as the pricey stuff at the good restaurants--I love that stuff!

What I would do for an Irn-Bru and a deep fried Mars Bar right now...
