Crawford's Cha Am are putting on a Burns Supper January 25th. Anyone up for it? I could book a table if I get enough names, so come on yon sonsie faces! If you can unnerstaun' ony o' the wurds below ye qualify...
Jockey's taen the parting kiss, O'er the mountains he is gane, And with him is a' my bliss, Nought but griefs with me remain...
The man's the gowd for a' that. What though on hamely fare we dine, ... A man's a man for a' that. For a' that, an' a' that, ...
... My darling, my darling, Charlie, he's my darling, The young Chevalier. ... |

Irish John has assured me there will be a traditional fare including a full address to the haggis. |

I once had lunch in a Robert Burns restaurant in Dumfries. At that time I enjoyed the Scottish friendliness and the power of their beer and Whisky. Usually understanding their talking, but now I did not understand Jockey's words of wisdom so I rather stay home.
Sometimes you understand, sometimes you don't.
Glasgowians; don't understand a word but really great people living there.
Have a nice evening guys. Looking forward to read your reports!!!

I understood it, but I think Jockey would prefer true, full-blooded Scots.

Not at all Dawn. Anyone (including yourself), is more than welcome if you think you might enjoy the night. There might be a few lady teachers coming and to my knowledge, only one of them is Scots. I'll chat to John and see if he'll lay on a taxi back to Hua Hin. |

I would love it. Haggis is one of my favourite foods, & I haven't had neeps since I was last at my Granny's in Elgin (I do haggis with cabbage & it's not the same!!  )
However, as always, I have the problem of a sitter for littl'un, so, have a good one & have a wee dram for me!

Do they rear wild 'Haggis' here in Thailand? or do they use the battery raised style as in 'East Chovo' I only ask as the taste diffrence (as you will agree) is vast, the latter being saltier due to its proximity to the sea of 'Chaf'
Wild Haggi (old Laviss spelling) alas are sadly becomming less and less visible in the wild and indeed are an endangered species (number 54 on the W.W.F list) So when you are tucking into your Haggis next week please spare a thought for its dwindling numbers......
