    Default So let's talk about Haggis.

    Hello Orgians,

    I had just seen a huge Haggis at a store recently. I have the money to buy it, but I didn't. The name doesn't exactly sound too appealing.

    So, friends, is Haggis worth eating?

    And, well, I like it. Definitely worth eating, though - don't eat a whole one on your own, especially if you're making a commenurate amound of mash... I could barely move.

    Rumours...

    It's very filling (aka stodgy) and if you don't like the idea of unusual bits of animal as tidbits, I'd steer clear.

    Not bad on a cold winter night though.

    We finished off the last of the haggis last night, though my school's PTPA's Burn's supper is next (followed by ceilidh, for those not disabled by the supper).

    It is very nice, provided it is proper haggis. If it is made from proper cuts of meat, it loses a distinct flavour. Vegetarian Haggis is just silly, and foul...

    Sounds like scrapple

    It's tasty and rare that you'll find odd pieces of animal within, considering the restrictions now placed upon slaughtered meats, especially a sausage like the haggis. Some homework should be done regarding preparation, but if your local butcher makes haggis, chances are that he knows to cook it.

    Ate it once, was pretty tasty actually, but it deosn't feel quite right in your mouth. Bit squishy and fatty.
