... is tonight!
 
Is anybody else partaking of the haggis, neeps and tatties?

YES of course I am!

Went skiing with a few mates a couple of years ago, one of whom was jock.
 
After a few to many beers and (whiskies) we went back to our chalet and battered then deep fried a 6 pack of mars bars as a Burns night treat since we couldn't find any haggis in the alps.
 
Never again, firstly we were very lucky not to burn the chalet down (4 p1ssed blokes and a big pan of hot fat isn't smart) but also I could almost feel my arteries clogging as I ate them, truly disgusting.
 
Will stick to haggis from now on, washed down with a quality malt, not a jock, no affinity to Scotland at all, just like haggis and whisky.

Am Scottish but don't like haggis, tonight am trying a vegetarian haggis for the first time, with neeps and tatties of course (and ketchup).

apart from fish from the chip shop I have never had a battered anything! I have asked my mates and colleagues about it in the past and neither have they so I don't think its that commonplace. 
 
Haggis I genuinely love even though its a shame the way they have to kill so many baby haggis at this time of year.

I wonder if the EU will invoke haggis quotas to ensure sustainability for future generations.

And for the person(s) with the lack of edjucayshun, here is a link to explain 'who' Robert Burns was:

Wow, you learn something new every day, I knew haggis was real but I thought Robert Burns was fictional.

Burns night is deferred to the weekend for me, though I might nip out and get oneof these from Morrisons
 

I didn't know who he was either (never having been exposed to much 18th century Scottish poetry!)
 
I'll get drunk tonight though if people are insisting on it
 

Must admit.. I'd love to know how a vegetarian haggis works..

Just as long as we NEVER have a Pete burns night ha 

I love haggis, my favorite food.. wish it wasn't so unhealthy but hey ho. Id eat it every day if I could. Not such a fan of whisky anymore but mix it with green ginger wine and its a goer.. bloody strong though.

I love it too and always just think of the protein content rather that the lips-n-ar$ehole content which makes it fine in my book
