  4. Uhm ... I've heard of this and it doesn't sound a bit good. Isn't it blood sausage or something like that?

    Now, if your grandmother brought home a nice lad with fine legs in a lovely kilt that would be something I'd like to see pictures of! Aye!

  5. I don't think there's enough Scotch in Scotland -- or here in America, for that matter -- to get me to try haggis.

    And please be sure to warn Linda -- if you post the real ingredients -- not to read said post during or anytime soon after eating.

  6. Thanks for the warning Curmy ... okay, I am not eating or planning on it - what's in the stuff, Claire? Or do I really want to know?

    By the by, I do love mashed potatoes! Could I just have those???

  10. I can't be too picky, either because I like Menudo. That's a Mexican dish made from tripe, hominey, and chili powder - a kind of stew, said to cure a hangover!
    I'd give it a try, at least...

  11. I tried haggis a few weeks ago at a local Scottish festival, and I have to say that the squishy parts in there really grossed me out. The flavor wasn't bad, but I couldn't stop thinking about what was in it that could be the squish. Eck.

  12. That looks familiar! But I think the Scots thought that one up all by themselves...

  13. For Cordia above,

    When I was in Scotland, I got to taste "real" haggis. Because of certain laws, it cannot be imported into the U.S. The best we can get is some form of canned gross out that simply "is not!!!" haggis. At one point I heard McSweens was going to open in the U.S. but no news of late. If anyone knows a source let me know.

  14. My motto..."Don't knock it 'till you try it."

    Send some to Arkansas, USA and I'll give it a whirl. ;)

  15. Ha - I love it that Claire said "What is Scrapple?"

    Sorry, they look gnarly. The side dishes look, yummy, though.
    And never would I have guessed they make veggie haggis!!!

  16. Claire, Claire, Claire ... this is gross and so utterly like a very pretty girl. Why muck up your insides with that? *shudder* I've posted about haggis and scrapple both. I shall Twitter ye the links.
