Haggis on the menu today BA?
As it's Burns Night does anyone know if BA will be serving haggis,neaps and tatties in the lounges or on any of their flights today?
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.
I don't know what the hell it means either.

We had a Burns Supper on Saturday. The only Haggis available locally (SEA) was frozen hard as a rock at the local shop selling all foods British (but no Irn Bru) and priced fetchingly at US$21.95 per pound. We declined, so I made my own Haggis for Sissies, which was well received by those present. Whisky was consumed, a fair amount of it, actually.
Have you heard the Address to a Vegan Haggis?

Fair fa' your alimentary face,
Yon stomach of the ovine race;
Internal organs all displaced,
Liver, kidney, heart:
Weel are ye wordy o' some rumination,
'Fore we start.
Boiled in a baggie there ye will,
Have human bellies soon to fill;
Ye'll stuff them to the upper gill,
And make them swell,
Abdominal abomination,
Belly-hell...

Just to combine this thread with minor "Celebs on BA", the band A Whisky Kiss http://www.whiskykiss.com/Home.html are on their way out to Muscat for Burns' Night to be celebrated on Thursday; flying BA from Edinburgh and Glasgow to LHR, then onwards with **** Air.
Haggis has already safely arrived.
