   Since this is a thread for international dishes also, I would like to know if anyone has ever tried some Haggis and what was the opinion for its gastronomical relevance. We are going to our nephews wedding shortly and my son and our nephew's party are dressing in kilt attire. Haggis may be available but not guaranteed. ;D ;D

For you have asked an honest question, I will be very truthful in answer.
Haggis for us of not Brit/Scot/Irish or who ever on the Island, it is not just dreadfully, it is a concentrated effort to simply stay within smell distance, let alone under force, to taste of it.
I think perhaps, during the war, one or more of our robot bombs took out some of their slaughter buildings, and in too quick hast, the owners became confused and mixed all the remains together. Because of war time shortage, convinced the population that this should be a national food so as to be rid of it.
Above most probably not, but one would surely suspect as so.

You must have been eating a dead haggis to get such a bad impression. Haggis are best shot in the Scottish Highlands in August and September and immediately cooked and eaten - this means you also have to shoot a few lambs to get the wherewithal to bind the haggis meat. When prepared in this way it is a delicacy that, once tried, most people would live on it.
I'll fax you one in August.

Leslie  Since one can shoot a haggis, and it seems you have experienced this, can you post an image of this Scottish Highland delicacy err, critter, err whatever. Please post and follow up with FAX!!!! |

It was with an invitation to a {Daughters of England} club party. There was one piano in the building. Attended by {I think} a mixture of Brits/Irish and Scots people. They were all, and I mean all, very crazy with so much beer/wine/ Whiskey and music floating about. The dear gentleman piano player was very excellent, but I suspect was in the process of attempting to break apart the instrument. The participants of the Brit. gathering, kept another person as of my self apart in opposite side of the very large room {it pays not to have two sets of Tuetonics in place of one location at a Brit party} And, of course, as a sexist fellow of then that I am of present, the Lady was endowed with very excellent legs and of other attributes, I was accompanied with as of then, did not ex scape the attention of other fellows of married. All for all, it was an excellent party, the people were of a very good people and very solid as just people. Leslie, I will say this in spite of all that may say as in dismay, Ok? You are of a very great people, I do admire and respect. For those I have had the good pleasure to have met in good and not so good times, have been of good measure. Yes Leslie, you are of good measure in as much to your people. It is the wholesome of quality in sharing of that I have learnt to admire. For across the Chanel, you most likely have not the understanding, but we receive of the music, the sum of your export in humour/showmanship of music/contributions to add to our pleasure of that we some how are missing. Yes Leslie, we would to this very earth not have some thing happen to you Brits, for it would be a loss we would not have ability to sustain to...For you people are the salt of our earth... Charles |

Charles Charles, it is tempting to speculate that you Teutons have a special place in your heart for anyone who ever fought with the English. Irish, Scots, Amis, .... yes, we all fought the English. Now I am not so sure any more, as the term 'British, I think, includes a large part of those Islanders off the coast of Europe, that to include the English.... Kai the Rabble Rouser |

One of the more remarkable faculties of the haggis is that it eludes photography - I have had them in the image finder of my camera, shot, but nothing is recorded. So, Sorry I cannot comply with your request. I shall certainly fax you a fresh haggis (the only way to appreciate the haggis), but I warn you you will have to buy another fax machine afterwards as a fresh haggis is about 1000 times less negotiable than a piece of toilet paper!
