I'm coming to the end of my stay in Glasgow and it's one of the biggest nights on the Scottish calendar. John, happy little bird, nice one night F, not done that. since my family passed away ha, personally, I like to just boil it and then roast it, but Jillian is away so for now guys, the right thing to do.
