Now I like haggis as much as the next man (unless he happens to be veggie) but this seemed more than a tad OTT!
The world's most expensive haggis will be cooked in a restaurant in central London at a cost of £2,500.
The haggis has been created by Scottish chef John Paul McLachlan, at the Albannach restaurant in Trafalgar Square, to celebrate Burns Night.
The Buccleuch Estate haggis will be cooked in £6,000-a-bottle 50-year-old Balvenie Cask 191 single malt whisky.

Perhaps it is a waste of good whisky, but, and no offence intended towards lovers of haggis, I feel it is a waste of good money that could doubtlessly go to a more worthwhile cause.

My wife, about a decade or so ago, decided to use 3/4 of a bottle of Laphroaig to soak fruit for a cake in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What made matters worse was that a few weeks later when she decided to make the cake, she drained the whistky down the sink, thinking that I wouldn't want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even tho' I much prefer speysides, that is an expensive fruit cake, and drain cleaner!
I imagine after it had been drained from the cake it would have tasted great....have you forgiven her yet stewart?

Indeed I have she is after all still my wife. Mind you for Christmas my mother in law gave me a bottle of Glenfiddich, and after thanking her the first thing I did was bar the misses from going anywhere near it. Bit like an elephant me - never forget.

As I AM a Whisky Drinker, (Single Malts anyway, not blends), you could donate it to W Bro Steve where it would be thankfully received and faithfully applied. In exchange for which I would make a donation to your Lodge's Alms or if you wish why not put it in the Raffle?

On Tuesday night passed I attended my 4th Burns supper this month, I have another one tonight (Thur) and one next month at the Rose Croix( they don't sit in Jan). As much as I love whisky I'll be glad when this months over, although like my wife says, "you don't need to drink it". A true statement but a hard one to stick to. Bod, The Buccleuch Estate, (if it's the same one) is only 20 miles up the road from me.
