A short article in today's Trenton newspaper has Groucho very excited. In January a new snack was introduced at a New York food fair.....haggis chips!!! :eek: They were introduced by Great Scot International and will be distributed in the U.S. later this year.
Groucho has already put them on my food shopping list. He's on his cell phone now calling all his kitty friends to tell them about it. So, if you find haggis chips on your shopping list you'll know how it got there.
What is haggis chips? It showed up on my grocery list too and I had no clue how it got there or what it is!
(I thought I was dreaming last night when I heard a phone ringing :rolleyes:)

You don't really want to know what's in it.. or what it's in!Quote:

That shop is Home Away From Home for all the lonely Scottish students at U of M.
Psssssst..Hey everyone, this is AustinB. Just wanted to give you a heads up on the "stash" I just got in from my supplier in Michigan. We are all SET TO GO!!! There's enough for everyone and then some!! WOOHOO!!! Partaaaaaay!!!!!!!
Bags are packed and ready to do. Now if I can only convince my meowmie to drive me to the bus station.
Ming has sampled haggis (as a good bagpiper should) and he loves it! He shared some with Mac....Mac is bring sushi on the next trip.
Haggis was traditionally the heart , lungs and liver of a sheep simmered for three hours in a sheeps stomach.
It has changed to being a sheep sausage in a casing , and is said to have quite a nice flavour.
I have had haggis at the Tartan Tortie with My Angels and wonder how close the Haggis Chips will be in flavour to real Haggis.:eek:
My bagpipers and Scottish Dancer were so excited to get some Haggis Chips that they are having an impromptu ceilidh this evening.. so all the rest of you are invited! Especially the other pipers!
This will be good practice and rehearsal for the Super Bowl this weekend, too.
Thank you, Miss Phesina! The Catmobile is on the way over right now. To my fellow kitties that want to attend the ceilidh, call me on my cell phone if you need a ride.Quote:

Chelsea told me she would have to go on this venture since her BFFF Sofie was going. I don't know about Franklin....he's being awfully secretive....:eek:
Don't worry, Sophie. I had haggis when I was in Scotland and it's really pretty good. I can't find any here in Trenton though. Some one of these days I'll have to go to Michigan to visit the Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe and get some.Quote:
