haggis reimagined

across the pond

and

north a bit

january 25th

is a big deal

burn's night

as it is known

is in deference

to a favored scottish poet

robert burns

revelry is compulsory

and so is

haggis

words are read

songs are sung

and

haggis is served

prepared haggis is difficult to find

this year

i set out to make my own version

true to the spirit

however

its authenticity 

can be called to question

not for the weak of stomach

nor

those with a flair for the dramatic

my version is 

haggis-lite

using more readily available ingredients

and

served in a less traditional fashion

 haggis

(printable recipe)

for the uninitiated

haggis is lovely as an appetizer

place a nice heap in a phyllo or pastry cup

and

top with mashed potatoes
