I made it !!!

OK, so it was steamed in a bowl, not in a stomach, and it didn't have the traditional Lungs in it.... :eek:

...but it turned out to be a tasty treat. Oh, and the "meat" for it cost $2.50 in total !!

Here's a pic then the recipe:

2 Onions, finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Salt

I love how the lungs are scary, but the heart and liver are totally normal.

The man who first ate oysters also invented haggis. ;)

Ok, Lash talked me into making the Cheesy-Mite rolls for his last meet/meat, but I promise never to do this for the next one.

Bleh!!!

(Sorry, Lash. ;) )

We named our Scottish Fold kitty Haggis, primarily because she had a stinky gas problem when she was a kitten. Turned out to be a good name for her- she's a cranky little terror. (This was the one and only time Eric got to name one of our animals).

Sorry, Lash, but there's a few other items on your recipe that I find a bit daunting. I'll be happy to get through life without partaking in this particular culinary oddity, but you're a brave bear to do so!

When I went to Scotland, I tried haggis. I liked it.

Just the heart and liver? Pssh, that's no biggie. I thought haggis involved actually nasty stuff. :p (though I'm no fan of liver...it's definitely this side of normal.)

Blood pudding for dessert?

Or is blood pudding even a dessert item?
Blood pudding in a cloud, anyone?

I think I would just go for the oatmeal without internal organs and call it a day.

Unless there was lots of Drambuie to wash it down with.
