If You Wear a Kilt, You Gotta' Have Haggis!

[SteveB]

Never have had Haggis on this side of the pond - Loved it in Scotland.

I have had it I really liked it, but I too would not want a steady diet of it..

It's ironic that a dish that was once part part of the staple diet of the people of Scotland is now considered to be something of a rare delicacy!

I would eat it more often if I could get some decent ones more easily!

I shall savour it next Saturday!

The same is true for Lutefisk for the people of Scandinavia. Every year at Christmas thousands o' pounds fly out the door of various specialty shops in the area. Churches host Lutefisk suppers, old folks homes bring it in by the truck load, families argue over who makes it best...if there was actually a good way to cook it. The only way I can eat it is if I cook it. Then I know it was done right. (The wife is 100% Swede and it's mandatory for the Holy Days).

I hope to try haggis sometime. I'll probably end up making it myself because I wouldn't know where to get it here in the frozen north. Also, it seems like one of those dishes that I want to 'quality control' through the whole process.

Going to a Burns Night supper this weekend,will then be having haggis for only the second time. Some British supermarkets sold a mild version last January (could get some in the freezer).
