I am not Scottish, but I do enjoy haggis neeps & tatties on a cold night!
You enjoy your Burns style dinner anytime you feel the need to Twinks! Personally I cannot stand the stuff - vegetarian or otherwise. Neeps are better eaten raw rather than mashed. ...but I'm the only person that thinks so, heh!

Aren't farts connected with global warming Longdriver??
Counterproductive to do away with cows then, only to replace them
them with humans imo??
I suppose the farts are smaller though ??
Food for thought eh ??

There are less butcher shops now & eventually they will not be able to compete with lower supermarket prices, so asking for a specific quantity of meat will be come more difficult!
It wont be just the eaters of these products that will suffer, It will be farmers, fishermen, the people who sell those products & I suspect many children whose parents were brought up eating meat & fish, so have little idea on how to cook vegetarian food! Getting the right nutrition from veg involves a lot of knowledge in how to get the right minerals , vitamins & getting children to eat them is difficult.
One thing that worries me, is that animals have been eating grass since they appeared & their poo fertilized the ground. If we need to grow more veg, the land they grazed on will still be needed to grow the veg. That means we will have to use chemical fertilizer on most... because we will all be eating the veg we grow.!

All true Twinks !
Try telling it to a Vegan ??

Unless you grow your own, or buy organic Pixie, you've been eating chemicals for years.

With vegetables, the farmer will have used artificial fertilizers and also sprayed the crops, else they can't get the yields they want.

Its a Scottish word for Turnips, Donkeyman! Haggis & Neeps is a Traditional Scottish dinner. You boil 'em and mash 'em all up like mashed potatoes.
