Food of the gods, it is.
Best served with a side of neeps'n'tatties (turnips and potatoes) and 
some roast onions.  A large dollop of apple sauce, if you like.

All washed down with a pint of proper ale ... but if you insist, I would 
happily join you in a pint of Merlot.

Hmmm ... this sets me to thinking.  Haggis poutine?  It could work...
