I was at a froo froo market in Sac last weekend (Corti Bros, for you
locals) and saw both haggis in a can and VEGETARIAN haggis in a can.
Having had and enjoyed the real thing at a Burns Supper in England,
the canned haggis was bizarre enough, but the thought of ???vegetarian
haggis??? What the hell? I guess that's like vegetarian bacon, eh
what? Or vegan eggs.

The mind boggles indeed.
