I will never, ever forget meeting Liz Bradbury, who is from Scotland! She is a wonderful English young lady and we hit it off right away at the Holly Cottage at the WVa specialty. Being that we all took turns cooking dinners for each other, Liz decided to open this can of Haggis that she brought with her. Said it was a delicious delicacy from England.....I couldn't wait to taste it! Little did I know that it would explode upon opening, spraying everything in sight, including me!! It was on my clothes, in my hair, and on my face....I was a MESS but smelled great as far as the dogs went! They followed me around as if I were their dinner! Don't ask me what the heck it tasted like but I 'wore' it very well! <g> Guess I will have to give it another try someday, if I am lucky enough to visit Liz in her homeland. But I still love you Liz...no matter what!! As far as Scrapple goes...grew up with it as my parents were from Baltimore MD and it was a staple in most households. The best is from the Eastern Shores of MD and delicious when fried crisp and served with eggs and good toast........mmmm-mmmm good stuff! My dogs will sit and drool long, slimy strands when I cook it. Of course, they both get some in their dinners with scrambled eggs mixed in....they love it! Carol Slider in NC, who will never forget the Haggis Shower!
