Erm – yes ‘blood sausage’ sounds terrible – that’s probably why it’s called ‘black pudding’- we’re trying to disguise its ingredients. I’m embarrased to say I’ve never tried it – I will get around to it one day! My butcher tried to sell me a haggis recently but I chickened out of that too. I’ll be hiding in shame now!

Ceejoe! There is not much better than new neices and nephews! I have a 22 month neph and a 3 month neeth…lurve em so much….especially since my kids are late teens and 20s!

I had blood sausage in Ireland …..it tasted like sausage, but after the initial first “brave” try…I probably won’t touch it again. Just too graphic! Haggis sounds very gross!

Haggis = yum.

Even though I am normally a vegetarian, I will make exceptions. Sometimes.

This pup is so prosh, and so are the captions! She makes me want one of my own, too bad my apt doesn’t allow canines (and my kitters are a-scared of them anyway).

Had a Scotch Egg in Marin County, of all places. Suitably greasy, but a bit breadcrumby for me.

Jaypo – dear sweet twinkly fairies on a figleaf, that is waaaay too graphic for me. Yick.

We were in Great Britain around Burns Day (Feb 2nd as I recall, but not *why* it was Feb 2), and there were many many posters for Burns Night Dinners with “haggis, tatties, and neaps”. I knew haggis and tatties, but “neaps” nearly drove me mad till the nice owner of the Kings Head off Oxford Street served it to us and told us it’s turnips, preferably mashed. Those Scots, always comin’ up with the gourmet treats.

Scotch Eggs sound awesom-o, but I’d probably do something unspeakably wimpy like substitute veggie-soy sausage.

Scots food has a bit of a reputation. as good Dr. Johnson said, “Oats: a food usually reserved for horses in England, that in Scotland supports the people.”

Rather than haggis, I would prefer a Scotch Egg:

Vegetarian haggis??? That’s bogus haggis, no it’s Veggis! I tried haggis once at a Scottish festival and liked it well enough. But I read a recipe for it once and it said something about leaving the *larynx* hanging over the edge of the pot while you boiled the stomach. yech! A little too graphic for me…
