A tale of canned haggis

[CAJUNLAWYER]

I'm surprised you got it. I thought Sheep lung iwas not allowed in foods for human consumption in the USA. Kinda like why you can no longer get Boudin Rouge (BOudin blanc made with the spaughtered pig's blood mixed in before casing it) any more.
Haggis is a lot like boudin, only made with sheep and oatmeal instead of pig and rice. Our version of it is called chaudin (or ponce) which is pretty much boudin sewed up in a pig stomach

How do you cook it?

My suggested cooking method.

Poor people's food at ten bucks a can.Gotta love it!
My daughters had it and responded yech! when I mentioned it.
Ma says she had too much during the war and no way!
I'm gonna have to get some ;-)

Burn mine,,,,,,crispy....

I ordered one can of grants premium haggis, a can of calidonia beef haggis and lamb haggis.

I like tripe boiled, cubed up and simmered in tomato sauce. I like Hungarian Herka blood sausage so why not try haggis.

Do they nae raise sheep in Texas? I have eaten haggis and enjoyed it but I have weird tastes in food according to many.

I have to admit, I cannot decide which part of my Scottish heritage appalls me more - Haggis or Golf. In fairness, just reading the description of Haggis puts me off, but maybe I'd be willing to try it some day, which is more than I can say for golf.

Got sheep here. Prefer lamb loin and chops to lamb lungs.

Actually, Spook 76 likes lamb and can probably recommend a suitable wine. Chateau Margaux is classic, but so expensive that you'll probably seek a similar red from Margaux or St. Julien or similar Cabernet from Washington, Chile, or Australia. The better Bordeaux reds not as pricey as the top ones from the 1855 classification are often excellent values.

You'll probably want mint jelly, too.

I am wholly unable to suggest a wine to accompany haggis. Spook is on his own there!! He mentioned MacAllan (sp?) 18 year old Scotch. I think I'd drink the whiskey and give the haggis to the javelinas and buzzards.

Now wait just a minute.. .. they play golf all over the world...... All over the world the people play golf...... You can't say that about haggis.....

I believe in crabs the lungs are called dead man and even though they suck the heads they don't eat the lungs. I was told that from a Louisiana born and raised.

I never heard anyone say mutton was good anyway so I doubt this yuck would be any better. Even Jerry Seinfeld didn't eat his mutton on his date. LOL

As I understand it, there's some exception to that (the lungs) if canned vs fresh. Given the number of sales of this to people in the states, including via Amazon, it seems there must be some way they work it.

I really dig good boudin, too. Which is funny, to some, as I like that and haggis, while hating menudo, bologna (even the "good" kind), and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Takes all kinds...

You Can't Recommend a Wine with Haggis
because the Preferred Beverage is known as "Single Malt"

I've never tried Haggis...yet. But I can say with certainty that it is probably better than canned SPAM.

Well, haggis is food stuff as odd as it may seem to many folks.

Golf, on the other hand, is a strange sport. If I understand correctly, you put your balls in a hole and keep your stick in your hands.

That is against nature. I tell you.

No... it's not.

 

[500SNW]

No... it's not.

Well...the only remaining test is to try Haggis and see if I can actually swallow the stuff without gagging it back up. That was my SPAM experience. High end dog food IMO
