I've had something that *purported* to be haggis at a local Scottish festival, but it was made with rice instead of oatmeal, and I think it was lamb instead of mature sheep; in addition it wasn't boiled in a sheep's stomach... It tasted like very bland 'dirty rice,' which is a Cajun dish made of various giblets/assorted undefined animal parts/rice/onions etc. Almost anything Cajun will taste *quite* spicy to those who don't eat Mexican/Thai/Indian/Cajun...I couldn't even find *medium* salsa when I worked a couple of near-veggieless months in North Dakota! Standard veggies at people's houses and restaurants in Dickenson: white: potatoes (boiled, mashed & fried), cabbage (pickled or boiled), onions (fried or boiled), navy beans (boiled with salt and maybe some pepper if the cook was adventuresome that day...;} ) and corn (boiled or creamed). In northern Wyoming, they did add baked beans with mild barbeque sauce, and canned green beans (boiled for 10 minutes - no seasoning :P ).
