Hogmanay (Scotland's New Year's Eve)
Am looking for a reliable American source for Haggis to help celebrate Hogmanay with friends. I found Scottish Gourmet USA as one source. Are they reliable? Do you know of any others?

Had a great time. There was even a bagpiper who piped in the haggis. The haggis was good too. After all the haggis jokes over the years, this was quite surprising. Perhaps it's the haggis made in Scotland with sheep lungs that earns those jokes.
"Neeps and tatties" (mashed rutabaga and mashed potatoes) were part of the feast along with a black bun. I'll let you all look those up.
We're looking forward to the Robert Burns night on January 25th. :C
Glad to know it was a worthy purchase and mashed rutabaga had a place at the table:).
Now about that black bun. Looked it up and goodness me it reads a lot like Jamaican Groom's Cake or Black Fruitcake! Just minus the whiskey or brandy which is replaced with copious amts of Appleton rum and no pastry outer wrapping.
Now I'm getting suspicious about the rutabaga my mother made, LOL.
