If you're going to Mel's Burns Night party tomorrow, warning, spoilers ahead. Read if you wish, of course.

I started with this:
http://www.worldburnsclub.com/poems/translations/459.htm

and ended up with something called "Humphrey, the Sinister Haggis". It assumes you know the basics of haggis-hunting (the beastie has a round, smooth body, a long white furry tail from which sporrans are made, and the legs on one side are longer than those on the other so it can run round mountains: to hunt, chase it the wrong way round the mountain, and it rolls down into the nets.)

Five verses, plus chorus.

I like it. Dave doesn't. Haggi only come in sizes big enough for two or more. So here I am looking at a bit over half a cold haggis in the fridge, and contemplating its uses for breakfast, lunchtime sandwiches, and possibly dinner tonight (though that will be a meal for two, so I'd rather have something we can both eat).

Browsing Google has suggested using it as a stuffing for chicken, or mushrooms: good ideas, but don't help me at the moment.

Apparently making it into a burger-like thing and frying it as part of a bacon&egg breakfast works.

"Warm haggis served with soft floury tortilla wraps and creamy tzatziki is an unexpected match made in heaven", I'm told. Thinking about it, I can believe it.

This page suggests, among other things, omelette. Apparently it also works as a pate, and therefore as a sandwich filling.

OK, Lunchtime sandwich to include haggis, yogurt dressing, cucumber, mint if I can find some - it won't be warm, but it sounds like it'll work.

Breakfast, I fancy the simple fry-up, but an omelette would be an interesting idea, and I don't often get the chance to make this sort of experiment.

I'l report back later.

Edit: omelette report is in comments (click through from photo to Flickr)
Further edit: don't bother having it sliced cold in sandwiches. Edible, but not exciting.
