I'm OT now, but I want to know: Does anybody, anywhere, actually
*like* this stuff?
Eating Haggis abroad is a bit like eating French fries in England,
spaghetti in a restaurant in India, couscous in an italian
restaurant, etc.
Real haggis (prepared and eaten in Scotland) is actually
surprisingly edible... I would even say *nice*.... at least in the
opinion of a foreigner living in Edinburgh ;-).
But I come from a country (Belgium) where we enjoy eating blood
sausages (boudins noirs - http://www.hertzmann.com/articles/2002/
boudin/) and raw beef (steak tartare - http://www.blogjam.com/
2005/06/12/steak-tartare/), so don't rely on my opinion ;-). At the
same time the joke we have on haggis in my country is : Initially, I
thought it looked like sh*t, then I thought it smelled like sh*t. But
then when I tasted it, I regretted it wasn't. So, maybe we are back
to my point about opinions formed when tasting it abroad.
You will have to come and try it in Scotland ;-).
