Good and bad things to come from ScotlandNewest Review: ... of youth was a steaming bowl of hot porridge in the morning, served with milk and sugar (some prefer salt) it was a substantial meal and kept us going until lunch time easily. Haggis is Scotland's national dish and many people are put off by what it is made with...but if they tasted it first then they may not even realise it is sheep's offal they are delighting over (I have to admit to never having tried it but have it on good faith that it is indeed delicious) Now I can't mention Haggis without mentioning Ayr's great Rabbie Burns.
