No No Kenny,

HAGFISH Aka: Slime Eels. , not Haggis, but they probably both taste the 
same!  We will have ter ask our mate down in OZ about the flavour since he 
has tried about everything the aborigines eat, no matter how disgusting.  I 
don't know if the poor lad is working on his outdoor railroad or not.  I 
have sent a message or two to him w/no answer.  He probably has his hands 
full with the dry weather down there and not enough spare water to fill his 
pannier tanks even though the loco is "G" scale.

Oh, I got an excellent video of "The Flying Haggis" as a Christmas gift from 
my lovely wife.
