Not very appetizing....

if you knew half of the ingredients that went into the food that you eat you probably wouldn't eat them!!! It is actually quite nice tho. Guess its like mar-mite - i really don't like that!!!!
 
I love it but as redlab says if the general public found out what really goes into their food they wouldn't touch it. If they saw the state of some dairy farms they would never drink a glass of that again either !
 
You might be surprised, its rather good traditionally made with heart liver and the lungs cereals and spices, you can also make a decent haggis with venison no need to use the lungs or even the heart but you do need a percentage of liver, which I know some on your side of the pond are rather reluctant to eat, I did have a recipe for venison haggis but can't find it

Nicola Fletcher has a recipe for it in her venison cook book , anyone with a copy like to print it?
 
For our American cousins (translation) berefet of the delight of a haggis


Fair and full is your honest, jolly face,
Great chieftain of the sausage race!
Above them all you take your place,
Stomach, tripe, or intestines:
Well are you worthy of a grace
As long as my arm.

The groaning trencher there you fill,
Your buttocks like a distant hill,
Your pin would help to mend a mill
In time of need,
While through your pores the dews distill
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour wipe,
And cut you up with ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like any ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm steaming, rich!
Then spoon for spoon, the stretch and strive:
Devil take the hindmost, on they drive,
Till all their well swollen bellies by-and-by
Are bent like drums;
Then old head of the table, most like to burst,
'The grace!' hums.
Is there that over his French ragout,
Or olio that would sicken a sow,
Or fricassee would make her vomit
With perfect disgust,
Looks down with sneering, scornful view
On such a dinner?
Poor devil! see him over his trash,
As feeble as a withered rush,
His thin legs a good whip-lash,
His fist a nut;
Through bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit.
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his ample fist a blade,
He'll make it whistle;
And legs, and arms, and heads will cut off
Like the heads of thistles.
You powers, who make mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill of fare,
Old Scotland wants no watery stuff,
That splashes in small wooden dishes;
But if you wish her grateful prayer,
Give her [Scotland] a Haggis!
 
haggis is sooooo good.

It is actually proper food!
No fake crap you cant pronounce!
The fact that offal isn't used in sausages these days is the reason they are tasteless!

Beef hearts, sometimes up to 80% are use in cheap burgers.

I love haggis. And faggots.
 
Only thing wrong with Haggis is it claimed by Scots as theirs but they took an English recipe and claimed it. Still tastes very good.
 
Delishess food is haggis along with black pudding.
If only some new what things went into some foods to get certain colourings and so one.
