The last of the Haggii

We have reached the point of no return.

From here on we can but move forward. For alas, we have now devoured our last remaining cans of this gaeliest of gaelic delights.

The history of this traditional dish is shrouded in scottish mist, but historians of dubitable reputation agree that it was the pot-bellied viking Bjorn Langnos that, preferring to drink his whisky in lieu of using it to make sauce, combined the haggis with lingonberries, thus creating "Haggis å kookapäärona", one of the first dishes of the nowadays highly regarded gaelo-finlandian fusion kitchen.

I'm not very fond of driving during the night, at least not in the summer, when every imaginable forest critter with a deathwish seems to just wait to jump out in front of the car, but since the plane from Helsinki-Vantaa leaves from, well, Helsinki-Vantaa we have no choice. Up, up and away at four o'clock in the morning it is, then.

Oh joy.
