steviep, you are the first person in history to take seriously being called a haggis poser

but know this: haggis everywhere are appreciative that you defended their honor

btw, wayne, it is ‘poseur,’ not ‘poser.’ I forgot to change to the proper term in my second reference above.

Haggis should be at least a little bit scary.

wayne, what’s your problem? (“haggis poser”???) Even without the tasty lung bits, haggis is not served in a nice little ‘shepherds-pie-like’ presentation with neat layers of mashed potatoes and turnips. It *should* come out as a “a mushy pudding of sheep’s innards all wrapped up in its own stomach casting or at least slopped up into a bowl like gruel”! By serving this hoity-toity fancy dish, St. Andrews is the “haggis poseur,” not me.

Just as aside, are the steaks from this place grass fed or grain fed…or are they imported Scots Mountain Cattle?
Just wondering…you know to keep in keeping with the theme of the place.

And those Whisky measures looked generous!…all for you Mama?

Also, kevin , yes that seems good value.

St. Andrew’s has a really good unlimited wine dinner. For $50, you get a three course dinner (you pick any app, entree and dessert off their normal menu, so not limited like a pre-fixe) and there is umlimited wine throughout — champagne, white and red, and they are very liberal with the pours and refills. Considering that you leave filled up with really good food and drunk, it ain’t a bad deal….

Two points:
1. True haggis cannot be made in US commercial establishments because purveying sheeps’ lungs is verboten. St Andrew’s does what they can given the rules and it’s damn tasty. So stop complaining stevenp you haggis poser

2. First no invite from mamacita and then not even a shout-out for the reference… sniff …
