Do Scots really like haggis (living in, foods, dry)

[ian6479]

Waitrose sell a vegetarian haggis which is really good. Its a little on the dry side if you just eat as-is but if you add something to add some moisture its great!

[Stumbler.]

Though I've never been to or visited Scotland (though I'd sure like to some day!), I actually quite like haggis. I first tried it in a fish and chips place in my city (Toronto) and I thought it was really tasty, with HP sauce. It's like a type of ground meat, and I didn't think the idea that it was organ meat made me like it any less.

It's basically a big fat sausage with oatmeal. I wasn't a fan until I had it mashed with neeps and tatties. It's necessary to counteract the dryness.

you wont believe this but I prefer Grants tinned haggis to a butchers haggis.. Ill be hung drawn and quartered for that. same as putting Irn Bru in my whisky.,, oh my whisky came up underlined. does that mean spelled wrong

[bobman]

It depends on what the default language is set to.


In America the spelling is spelling is whiskEy.
That's maybe what your spellcheck is picking up on.

Only whisky made in Scotland can be called Scotch whisky. That was introduced a few years back to protect the brand.
Other countries do make whisky, but they aren't allowed to call it Scotch.

As for the haggis debate, I'm a Scot, and yes, I like haggis from time to time.
Especially on a baked potato with Heinz beans and cheese !

That's different, must try it

I like chicken breast stuffed with haggis, known as 'Balmoral Chicken'...delicious!

[dizzybint]

do the Americans have tottie scones... Ive only seen them in Ireland.

[bobman]

Mmm, yes, Balmoral chicken is very nice.
Actually, Asda used to sell a really nice one which came with a peppercorn sauce/ I used to get it every now and then if I couldn't be bothered tomake my own !
