Address to a Haggis

Robert Burns

Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race! Aboon them a’ ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy of a grace As lang ‘s my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o’ need, While thro’ your pores the dews distil Like amber bead.

His knife see Rustic-labour dight, An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve Are bent like drums; Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive, Bethankit hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi’ perfect sconner, Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither’d rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash, O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He’ll make it whissle; An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned, Like taps o’ thrissle.

Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o’ fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies; But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer, Gie her a Haggis!

This post probably won’t make me any friends or allies, but I need to voice my thoughts, and what else is a blog for?

This is very surreal. Something I knew would happen in my lifetime but could never have predicted. I don’t know what to do or say or feel.

I was surprised for a split second when I opened tumblr and other social media this evening. I suppose I shouldn’t have been, but I tend to agree so much politically and socially with the people I follow on Tumblr and what they share and reblog that I simply WAS surprised by what I saw.

I believe in the concept of Monarchy as a method of ceremonial Head-of-Stateship, and I believe that HM Queen Elizabeth filled the role excellently. It offers more consistency than elected heads of state, and is more fun tbh. The concept of Head of State has no real meaning outside of military dictatorship and the like anyway, so what does it matter….

Does the current royal family have institutional issues? Fucking yes. Is the new King probably a little too close to the current political corruption? I’d be thoroughly surprised were it not so. Is he likely to maintain his mother’s neutrality and silence on the political field? Please, for the love of whatever is holy, I hope so. Does the issue of wealth redistribution need to be discussed more fully and openly with regards to the Royal Family AS WELL AS the massive price gouging corporations? No shit, Sherlock.

The life of any modern western hereditary monarch will always be one of the most privileged and comfortable on the planet. There will be some disadvantages: they are effectively chained to one vocation for their whole life, that of state-owned celebrity; they will never have full privacy and peace from the media (look at Diana and Meghan). Those are pretty small issues in the grand luxurious scheme though.

I don’t feel good at all seeing the jokes, memes, celebrations of death, etc. I recognise the circumstances of my life, and privileges afforded to me by those circumstances, lead me to react like this, just as I recognise and respect the same of other peoples’ circumstances and lives. But what about dignity, decency, respect, empathy, all that jazz? Just because she and her family were and are immensely privileged doesn’t mean they aren’t humans who grieve and feel loss the same way as any person.

Some of this serves as a reminder that believing in left wing political ideologies does not a pleasant person or respectful person make, which is worth remembering after this particular issue has passed. Again, I respect that people can’t allow or force themselves to be civil about this because of their circumstances, the way their lives have gone.

As a final thought: Fuck the people who use this as an excuse to attack social progress, and, with the same tool, fuck the people who rejoice in someone’s death (as if it will make any difference. If anything, her death heralds the true dawn of the new dark age). You’re all gross and need to reevaluate your fucking lives.

My #1 post of 2022

So I started watching gen:LOCK season 2, through the first few episodes so far, and uh….

What

And also

The fuck?

Some cool concepts being thrown around, but the execution is Chibnallian in its inexplicable disappointingness. Did HBO push to rush this out? Was their a complete change of people involved with oversight? I want to be kind here, but this is like RWBY Vol. 4 all over again, except without the obvious change in production style to excuse the drop in quality.

Burns Night cooking countdown and recipe share Day 5. I’ve experimented with haggis and in three different ways. Swipe for my Cape Malay Haggis Curry recipe. Cape Malay curries are mild but bursting with flavour. It’s the curry I ate a few times a week growing up. You can always up the heat by adding chillies. In the first pic, I made spicy veg haggis bajias with a buckwheat, preserved lemon, herb and avo salad. I used @simonhowiebutcher veg haggis.In the second is the Cape Malay Haggis curry served with pea pilaf and tomato and onion sambal. (Recipe shared in my story today and swipe the pics for it.) Lastly, I tried Finlay’s of Portobello’s Asian haggis with neeps and tatties (mashed swede and carrot and mashed potatoes). One would think that I’d be all haggis’ed out but nope... not al all. If you try the curry, let me know how it goes and I’d appreciate a tag too. . . . . #burnsnight #countdown #scottishfood #scottishcuisine #haggis #curry #capemalaycurry #fusionfood #scotland #haggisneepsandtatties #simonhowie #mains #recipe #recipeoftheday #recipeideas #recipeshare #scottishfoodie #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfood #visitscotland #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #instafood #edinburghfoodblog #edinburghfoodbloggers #foodblog #foodblogger #foodbloggers #recipedeveloper #4suitcasesandawhisk (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUtgvvjOv6/?igshid=8v4sub1msiki

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿SAVE £5 on a bottle of Whisky Amaro🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 • Something a wee bit different to address that haggis this Burns Night. • Scotch single malt and grain casks precisely blended then infused with botanicals and local honey. Bittered, balanced and the first of its kind. • Deliberately kept at strength so it can take a little dilution. Savour over ice or top with soda for a complex modern highball. • Botanicals: Allspice, hibiscus, coriander, lovage, kola, quassia, rhubarb, lemon and lingonberry • Base: Ardmore (7-year-old, ex-bourbon 1st fill), North British (3-year-old, virgin oak) and Invergordon (12-year-old, ex-sherry) • Tasting notes: Natural wine, thick-cut marmalade, cherry jawbreakers, subtle peat. • • #craftyconnoisseur #whisky #burnsnight #burnssupper #whiskyamaro #whiskylover #haggis #haggisneepsandtatties #edinburghlockdown #shoplocal https://www.instagram.com/p/CKQ9ruHF27S/?igshid=yni6om5bfq31
