I do not want to know anything about the prize for the best haggis. Or for that matter, haggis.

Key quotes:
"to compete for the coverted Golden Spurtle Award... Freudian slip???
"In her younger days she worked as a chalet girl"... is that a euphemism?

The Golden Spurtle, sponsored by Columba Cream...
Now if I'd never had Columba Cream, which is a honey-and-single-malt version of Irish Cream, I might find that funny.
No, I do find that funny, but now have to break into the bottle of Columba I brought back from the Hebrides with me...

If I'm reading this right...the porridge they mean is good old oatmeal. I recently got a can of the real, steel cut oatmeal.
Wonderful stuff. Nothing like the rolled flaked oatmeal that is so common. And easy to make in a slow cooker too...
