Robert Burns Night this Saturday

[winterbadger]

The Flying Scotsman is apparently a new restaurant in D.C., staging a Burns Night celebration this Saturday night with free haggis! Anyone interested?

You will think me soft in the head, but I've always wanted to try haggis.

I'm 1/8 Scot, you know.

People who haven't had haggis never believe me when I say this, but haggis is delicious! The one thing you have to watch out for is that it's got a massive proportion of oats in it, and is usually accompanied by a fine single malt Scotch (though of course this is not, required; the less single malt other people drink, the more is left for the rest of us! :-) But the oats can suck up a good quanitity of moisture, and the more you eat, especially if accompanied by usquebagh, the more you get dried out.
