About a haggis
Beef and oats, liver, lamb
I eat haggis any time I can
It's the meal for which I'll beg
With neeps and tatties or fried with eggs
Come to Scotland and you'll learn
How to host a Supper Burns
First the haggis is addressed
Then songs and poems and all the rest
My haggis, my haggis, if I dare boast
Is far better than plain meatloaf
Hearty oats mixed with meat
It's a tasty Scottish treat
If the puddin' race has a chief
Methinks it would have a Scottish motif
It can only be haggis, there can be only one
Haggis is the best, bar none

Very notably discharged.
I might have slipped "forsooth" just before "bar none." ;)

I polished off the last of my haggis tonight. I let out a hearty burp in salute to good food, and I chuckled thinking of my German grandfather, after a burp my grandma would say, "du bist ein schwein!" To which the reply would be: "mein fraulein es war wert ein Dollar!"
Translated is basically "you pig!" "Mama it was worth a dollar!" Which in their day was a lot of money!

Unfortunately, English politeness culture precludes us from saying anything else except "pardon me" after showing appreciation for the meal!
