Meanwhile having nearly finished to death ray machine Matron is conducting field trials . The early results are good, the building that Herr Professor Doktor Mindbender is attempting to will be easy pickings even at half strength.

I'm not entering the fight about Marmite but Chris, you've been quite rude about Matron... after all she's a Lady ...with a penchant for syringes and a strong old school nurses' attitude. I'd rather face 1000 Mindbenders or a Marmite flood than a single outraged Matron .Matron building a death ray machine ha haha NEVER she's a NHS NURSE not an electrician an i bet it will blow up first go hahaha to build these machines you need to have big brain like the doc mindbender So as Garry said round no 2 hahahaha

No, just no!!I rather like haggis as long as I don't think too much about the ingredients, but Andy's post has me wondering if a dollop of Marmite would improve it even more.

BrilliantTalking of haggis. When we lived on the Hebrides my wife and I went on a sporran decorating course run by the famous highland sporran weaver Norrie Two Bonnets. The bothy where we stayed was next to a haggis farm. In the evening we often went down to see the young haggii in their brood pens. They were cute but easily exited and could give you a nasty nip. They were fed on clootie dumpling, deep fried turnips and rumbledethumps which saw them grow rapidly into fully adult haggii in 6 to eight weeks. Once adult the young haggii were allowed out to roam freely across the surrounding peat bogs. The owner of the haggis farm, Jock Strap, had been in the business all his life and he could trace his ancestory way back. There were records showing that Strap family haggii were prized by none other than Robert the Bruce. There is an etching in the National Museum of Scotland showing Robert enjoying haggis and neaps before the Battle of Bannockburn. At the age of 9 months to a year the haggii were rounded up and humanely slaughtered, in the traditional way, with a battered, deep fried claymore.
It's so nice to reminisce on such good times.
Neeps are usually a mixture of turnips and swede, sometimes with parsnips, boiled and mashed. Haggis recipes vary, but includes the 'pluck' of a sheep (heart, lungs and liver) minced, mixed with oats and loads of black pepper, stuffed into the lower intestine of a cow and boiled for a few hours.Isn't haggis Scottish chitlins? What are neaps?
Well, I suppose it is a little unkind to the Marmite, but it'll add some extra flavour to the haggis.No, just no!!

Damn Pete, just Swede's??? I really hope you don't add Norwegian's, Dane's or Fin's into the mix........Or???Neeps are usually a mixture of turnips and swede, sometimes with parsnips, boiled and mashed.
