Here in Vancouver, wes has a most unusual Chinese New Year tradition.
Gung Haggis Fat Choy – It is a unique celebration that merges Scotland’s Robbie Burns Day with
Chinese New Year
Started in 1998 by Vancouverite Todd Wong, the fusion event combines
traditions from two very different cultures into something that’s, well,
odd.
Hummm...Purrhaps it is the purrfect holiday for US!!!
Mes oriental...and Mommy has some Scottish blood.. ..
They is celebrating it at Mommy's Job tomorrow and
Mes is thankful Mommy is going to brings home some Haggis WonTons!!!
Any way, Mommy says no camera until NEXT weekend...Mes say Pooey!
Here is My Gift #21
Mom had lunch with several ladies on Tuesday and they were talking about Robbie Burns day, Two of them had been to a party where they served Haggis, Then the other ladies wanted to know what Haggis was made of. So Mom got on the internet on her phone and told them! Mom does not think she wants to try it and is sure she would not like it!
ReplyDeleteMy human says that just from her brief time in Vancouver recently, that holiday totally makes sense! She loved the cool blend of cultures there - and she is coming back with me at the end of February!
ReplyDeleteMOL - what a crazy hollyday!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very silly holiday which makes it extra fun to celebrate!! Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea to mix two howl-i-days... and I would eat the double of my weight there... yes, it#s a double howl-i-day :o)
ReplyDeleteWell that is MOST interesting dear Nellie! Mom and Dad went to Scotland and had haggis at a big "Scottish Night" dinner.......and Mom says she can't imagine that being in a won ton but hey - she likes won tons so who knows?!?!?! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the "kitty bag" your Mom brings home for you to enjoy today!
ReplyDeleteLove, Angel Sammy
TW has never eaten haggis or won tons so she'd probably starve during your Scottish Chinese New Year. You know I love Chinese food so I hope the peeps celebrate by ordering some and they don't tell me it's too spicy or oniony and I can't have it.
ReplyDeleteOMC THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS!!! catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteThe Staff spent some of her childhood in Scotland, but she can't remember ever eating haggis!! MOL
ReplyDeleteDat does sound strange Nellie. Sorry 'bout da camera thing. Big hugs to you and your mommy.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'

ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy and your gift is purrfect, just like you beautiful Nellie!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Nellie, that sounds incredible ! Learning new things from you is a gift too !
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! But the mom says she would skip the haggis won tons.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about things like this but I too will skip the haggis! Heeeee.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting. I really like the quote, but I want to see a photo of beautiful Nellie. XO
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice quote...stick-to-it-tiveness is a good quality!
ReplyDeleteMaybe those Haggis Wontons would stick in petcretary's belly, MOL!!
We shall have to ask our uncle if he has had those...he's lived there for many years now.
Its so frustrating when we do not have access to the things we want/need to use. We think there will be lots of nice new pictures when the camera comes back to your den.
We love the saying and would like to try the Haggis Won Tons. You all have a wonderful week end.
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year's my darling Nellie Belly <3 <3 <3 Hope one of those wontons finds its way to you -- Chinese New Year is almost as big a deal here in SF as the western New Year on Jan 1--SF has a yuuuuuuge Chinese-American population and there's a big parade and all kinds of stuff. It's all good, but I purrsonally do not like the firecrackers. Shall I come visit to get away from all that? XOXOXOXO
ReplyDeleteMay I come along and visit with you and Spitty again? I'll not flirt too much. I always defer to you sweet Nellie.
ReplyDeleteand no thanks to the Haggis.
ReplyDeleteWow....haggis won tons...sounds like the time to be picky. MOL
ReplyDeleteShoko and Kali
Nellie, this is by far the craziest mash-up we have ever heard about, but now you have our mom craving Chinese food; though, she says she'll skip those haggis wontons. Tell Mom Barb to have fun at her party. Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
ReplyDeleteHAGGIS WON-TONS??? Um .... *slinks silently away* (MOL)
