Anybody got a recipe for good haggis? Is there such a thing as good haggis?
An enthusiastic YES!!! I've had some 'fast food' haggis at Celtic festivals in the past that was overly salty and pretty "blah", but the real stuff is absolutely great. Plus (looking at you, HUB) you can always drown it in gravy!!
I'm keen on blood pudding too, so... take that for what its worth. Mom and I had one or the other for brekkies every morning while we were traveling there years ago. It gets served just as a little side dish on your breakfast plate, so you skip the whole sheep stomach presentation, which probably helps with minimize the gross-out factor.
Versus:
Trust me, that makes a WORLD of difference at 7am.
We'd figured we'd need to drink a big glass of whisky to be able to down it, especially in the morning, but we braved it, and turned out we both really really enjoy it. Very savory, great spices, and quite filling!
Dennis here at MAK makes it every year for the company Christmas potluck and does a fine job. He always laments the fact that you can't buy lung due to some USDA rules. (I don't think it helps his case for getting the rest of the crew on board for trying it!)
