AFJF Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Last night was my first "burns night" in the UK and of course Haggis (not the poster but the food) was served to all in attendance and I must say I was quite impressed with the whole set up. The Haggis was great and of course the people were as nice as could be. I know we've got some posters who live in this neck of the woods so I was wondering who else had ever had it. In case you're wondering.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I've eaten "Americanized" haggis at Burns suppers. More meat and liver, less of the nasty stuff. Tastes like liverwurst, to me. Burns Nights are great. I'm hoping to organize one here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trend Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Appetizing.. I am first generation American on my mother's side, her family having emmigrated from Arbroath to Sydney to NY. I've had haggis twice, I can't stand it and wouldn't feed it to my worst enemy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If I was starving to death...Let's see now. Death or haggis? I don't know, maybe in my delerium I would gnaw on my own arm and leave the haggis be. Hard to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The Haggis was great.... A taste thing, surely. I had to WORK myself up to trying it, though. I've had my chances before, and I just couldn't do the deed. And that's when I was a carnivore. Funny, 'peasant food', enterprising folks who wasted nothing, that stuff always becomes a delicacy.

uart Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Liver is NOT the nasty stuff? Dude, there are some ingredients in Haggis that you aren't allowed to sell as food in the US. So, no, the liver is not the nasty stuff. I'm a first-generation American from a Scottish family. I refuse to eat Haggis. However, I'm into all of the other Scottish Delicacies (and it is ALL fried -- I love the motherland). So... anyway, if you're going to have a haggis-optional Burns Night, then please invite me . Hell, I'll even wear a kilt, and I'll speak in my good-for-an-American-but-still-bad Scottish Accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 In all honesty it seems to me that what you get in Haggis, isn't a lot worse than what you get in a hot dog at a ball game. All the extra parts that nobody knows what to do with crused together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This whole thread reminds me of the movie with Michael Myers " So I married an axe murderer". All I can picture is him yelling "haggis !! ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This whole thread reminds me of the movie with Michael Myers " So I married an axe murderer". All I can picture is him yelling "haggis !! ". I started to read your post and the first thing that came to my mind was. "Damn, I have seen all of the Halloween movies and I never saw haggis make an appearance."
