I'm glad MM didn't ask the main ingredient of haggis. That might have been difficult to answer for squeamish people but it's a great meal

I think 8. Is tagliatelle?

Good Boy Norv. You definitely know what's good for you.

Salt Herring should be another delicacy you could try whilst you're on this earth. :-) A good North West Coast of Scotland treat. X
