haggis claims

[Rex_Tremende]

You would have to think that most cultures / countries, would of had some form of "haggis", not wanting to waste any part of an animal etc...

Don't worry about the haggis, worry about them bloomin aussies trying to steal our pavlova...

In Cincinnati, we have goetta, which is sort of like haggis, but without the organs; porcine, rather than ovine. German in origin, I suspect it probably had a more everything-but-the-squeal peasant history. Like haggis, oats are used to stretch the meat that you have. When I first tasted haggis, I thought it might have been goetta, that is until I bit into something distinctly iron-rich.

Regards,
