The "great chieftan o' the puddin-race" is back!

If I claim any European heritage it would be Scottish. So, "in the words of Robby Burns, in his Ode to a Haggis, looking "down wi' sneering, scornfu' view on sic a dinner". But now, as millions of Scots around the world prepare to celebrate Burns's legacy tonight with an elaborate, whisky-fuelled pageant to a boiled bag of sheep innards, oatmeal, suet and pepper"
