Well I tried it this week - Not good, not bad, and probably not worth the fuss. It did seem better with a bit of whiskey on it, but I think next time I'll just have the whiskey.   The neeps (mashed)on the other hand were very good - particularly with a little salt and a bit more of that whiskey.

The food did not seem to affect our play significantly, although I did find myself during Hangman's Reel inexplicably trying to imitate a bagpipe drone on my lower guitar strings. That may have been more related to the amount of various Scots beverages I was sampling. The folks in the pub appeared too busy eating their haggis to notice or care.
