At my college's Burns Night, I was given a really nice stuffed aubergine. As opposed to the not very nice stuffed aubergine they gave me the rest of the year.
I was visiting Edinburgh this past July, hosted by my friend kispexi2, her husband--an Edinburgh native--and their son. We were at The Last Drop, and Mr. Kispexi ordered vegetarian haggis. I boggled a bit and spluttered, "Isn't that kind of a contradiction in terms?"
Mr. Kispexi enthusiastically corrected my thinking, and let me have a taste of his lunch when it arrived. And so my first experience of haggis was of vegetarian haggis, and I was very pleasantly surprised.
Not being a vegetarian myself, I tried traditional haggis, offered at breakfast the following morning in my hotel, and enjoyed it every bit as much.
