With Burns night approaching, and my recent trip up to Scotland, to stock up on haggis, square sausage and other traditional scottish fare, I was surprised to find that none of the supermarkets had any fruit pudding, my o/h loves this kind of stuff.
My question is who makes the best fruit pudding and where can you get it south of the border |

" ................

There's plenty of small local butchers who'll sell you their own make of all of the above over the counter.
Probably the best way to get fruit pudding (not my favourite) is by mail order from Ramsays of Carluke via ramsayofcarluke.co.uk
No customs declaration required - no duty to be paid. |

"Haggis rocks!!  We brought a live one back and it is now running round the hill at the back of our garden"
Haggis is rank!!!! and you're much better with clootie dumpling than the usual fruit pudding |

I don't agree with your comment re haggis but you're spot on about clootie dumpling. The problem is that, unless you make it yourself, really good clootie dumpling is hard to find.
Anyone want my recipe? |

I worry about a nation that has caber tossing as it's national sport. How the fook did that come about? "Oh' look, a tree, I think I'll just chuck it over there!"
They must get freaked out when they see a set of cricket stumps, "Ah, Travel Cabers, ain't they cute!"  |

I just personally don't like haggis, I rate it alongside liver and tripe. There's a brilliant butcher near me that sells fantastic clootie |

That's the point I was making. No I bloody wouldn't, and that's just the women!
I jest, of course. I was semi raised by a scottish family. I say semi raised but what I mean is I invaded my mates house every weekend for years and years. His folks were Glaswegians and at first I couldn't understand a word they said, but I soon got the jist that it wasn't what they said, it was the context in which they said it. Once I understood what was an insult and what was normal conversation I managed to string a couple of words together in reply. Most of the time I just sat there shitting myself. |

Following a recent decision at Holyrood the aforementioned licence is only required if you're intending to breed the haggis  |

An Englishman is being shown around a Scottish hospital.
At the end of his visit, he is shown into a ward with a number of patients who show no obvious signs of injury. He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the man proclaims:
Fair fa' yer honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain e' the puddin' race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
painch tripe or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
as lang's my arm.
The Englishman, somewhat taken aback, goes to the next patient, and immediately the patient launches into:
Some hae meat, and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.
This continues with the next patient:
Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie,
O what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
wi' bickering brattle.
I wad be laith to run and chase thee,
wi' murdering prattle!"
"Well," the Englishman mutters to his Scottish colleague, "I see you saved the psychiatric ward for the last."
"Nay, nay," the Scottish doctor corrected him, "this is the Serious Burns unit." |
