Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis) : Do you actually like haggis?

Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers) : No, I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

Scotch eggs, reminds me of when my daughter was about two and a half years old, I took her shopping at the local deli, she asked the assistant behind the counter for a Scotch egg but could she take the "Scotch" off and she only liked the egg laugh

Haggis is illegal in the US, our government doesn't consider lungs or esophagus to be food. sick I agree with them.

Just for those who do not know wat it is...

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish.

There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.

Haggis somewhat resembles stuffed intestines (pig intestines otherwise known as chitterlings or the kokoretsi of traditional Balkan cuisine), sausages and savoury puddings of which it is among the largest types. As the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique puts it, "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour."[1]

Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach. There are also meat-free recipes for vegetarians.

It is often asserted (e.g., on the packaging of MacSween's haggis) that the dish is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: swede, yellow turnip or rutabaga and potatoes; these are boiled and mashed separately) and a "dram" (i.e. a glass of Scotch whisky). However, it might perhaps be more accurate to describe this as the traditional main course of a Burns supper, since on other occasions haggis may be eaten with other accompaniments. Whisky sauce (made from thickened stock and Scotch whisky) has recently been developed as an elegant addition.


*I just bought Haggis today, and i look forward to havin it with my tatties n neeps!! YUM!
