Just saw this on "How it's made"

We are a world wide forum, right?

So I need to ask- who here has eaten Haggis? What does it taste like??

And did you know that there is vegetarian Haggis?

Gotta' know

John

Tastes like spicy meat. Like any sausage / pasty, it's often down to the makers preferred recipe. A Scotsman will be along soon to defend one of their national dishes. Ask them about the Golden Spurtle too.

We get it in South Africa, not quite as good as the real thing from Scootland.

have you ever tried deep fried Mars Bars from Glasgow...or Spotted DICK from a little further south ?

For those of us in the haggis-deprived USA, there is hope. I saw the article below in Jan, although it appears to be from last year, so maybe not so much movement on this hot political topic:

My SouthEast PA club (the Mac-Pac) has made Haggis runs down to a place in south Jersey. Some of our guys love the stuff. Me, not so much, but I tried it!

Haggis Rocks! best served with tatties and neeps (mashed potatoes and mashed swede) and a fine glass of your favourite single malt

IMHO Very Happy

So, I stand corrected- looks like the consensus is positive.

Just don't look at how it's created Rolling Eyes

But then again LOTS of good tasting food would be much less appealing if we saw "How it's made"

Haggis nachos?????

In Ireland they also have white pudding. Similar to the black but .... white.

True I kid you not Laughing

Haggis...Bllearrgh. Although the veggie ones are quite nice.

Black pudding..another Blleaargh. Imagine eating a handfull of iron filings and that is what it tastes like to me.

Yorkshire pud. Yum. My grandmother (who has not been with us for many years) made Yorkshire puds the size of the dinner plate and filled with gravy. Pure heaven.

Cheers.

Rich.

My Black Pud is waiting in fridge for Saturday's breakfast. Yummy.
Not particularly English either, ask for Blutwurst in Germany.

Toad in the hole has nothing to do with frogs, toads, holes, or the postal service. Just another brit "delicacy"

Our version of Toad in the Hole is a bit simpler, frying pan, butter, slice of bread, tear a 2" hole in the middle of the bread, stick in frypan, crack egg into hole in bread, fry both sides till bread is toasty. yum.
