A little light relief

They gave up on free range farming of Haggis when it was discovered that they were cannibalistic.

My wife had that once. It took 20 minutes for reverse thrust to take effect.

Nothing wrong with a good battered haggis.

Or a battered black pudding.

Just realised how much I shall miss Scottish chip shops if I move back to England.

Owain

Even more reason to seek out the freshest stock

In general, no. This one just had too much free fat trapped in the coating.

So very tempting. Trying to decide between battered haggis, battered black pudding or casu marzu.

I thought the only exercise scots got was chasing a haggis around the mountains. Then they deep fry it.

Then it's not going to make any difference to them taking the longest dated stuff. Only to me.

No difference if you steal stuff if it's already priced in.

That's just straight theft.

Seeking out the freshest goods and paying the asking price is common sense.

True. Perhaps those who don't want this just have it delivered?

True, but I also look for BOGOF and similar deals rather than just assuming the asking price is the right price or the cheapest. Plus I get those annoying vouchers through the post that are sometimes worth looking at, which give you a discount or added reward points.

You can still get the freshest BOGOFs with your discount vouchers.

I think the delivery pickers take all the oldest stuff.

Be aware that BOGOF deals are usually paid for by the supplier, not the supermarket. The supplier generally has little say in it, apart from when their continuous manufacturing operation is out of kilter with what the public is buying.

Meaty stuff can last well, but tinned fruit or veg should not be consumed too long after the use-by date because the acids in the contents can etch the container. I assume this is why the tins of peaches etc seem to have a white plastic lining of some sort.

Botulism is rather nasty remember. There was a story once about a chap admitted to A&E and was unable to communicate. Once Botulism was suspected the staff has the foresight to ask the police to go round to his house and see if his wife had eaten any of the same.

I thought haggis came in a sheeps stomach, not in a tin ?.

And a deep-fried mars bar for afters :-)

You feed the sheep chopped lung and oatmeal until it explodes.

Traditionally the ?skin? was a sheep?s stomach but these days it tends to be some an (often non-edible) alternative. The tin stuff is the ultimate sacrilege ;-) (and I?m not even Scottish).
