Ah, the Haggis!
I cooked up a couple of authentic Haggises (spelling?), or at least as authentic as I could make them, including lungs etc. This was for my Boy Scout troop's Scottish Games.
As my son put it, the Haggis was "underwhelming." As he had actively participated in the cleaning of the innards and preparation of the Haggis, he was acutely aware of the "yuck" factor with regard to the color, feel and smell of said innards. He explained that if it tasted great, it would have been "cool" and if it had tasted horrible that would have been "even cooler."
However, it simply tasted bland.
That, of course, didn't stop the Scouts from digging in, if for bragging rights if nothing else. |
