***Neil, having haggis tonight by any chance?***

The wild haggis is extinct in France, Rudge. Hunted out. Actually, there was a time when we exiled Scots could get farmed haggis at a pinch. It was banned a while ago during the British beef import scare (there's a touch of beef suet in the beastie) and never re-appeared. Had to make do with mince and tatties, Oor Wullie style, and a wee drappy o' a Glen. Here's tae ye -- Neil

PS: There are many free public domain versions of the Rabby Burns complete works for download for your new ebook. The only hitch I've found is keeping page-numbering intact to help find what you're looking for via the contents pages. I'm sure someone here could suggest a fix. N

Mince 'n' tatties works good too.

You're right about having a good contents page though. That link that I quoted would be quite a pain trying to jump to a specific bit.
