macguzzi Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 I spent a month in Scotland sampling and traveling. Haggis is basically a sausage—ground innards of an animal, plus other sundries, stuffed in a natural casing made from animal innards—nothing more, and nothing less. Given that there are really good sausages and really horrid sausages all over the world, one might surmise that there are really good haggises and really horrid haggises. This is indeed the case, according to my research. The same was the case with the Scottish distilled beverages. All of this research will soon culminate in the world's first and only "all-you-can-eat-and-drink" haggis and scotch restaurant. I'm looking for investors now. Anybody want in on the ground floor? Haggis is in fact a Pudding not a sausage
belfastguzzi Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Haggis is basically a sausage—ground innards of an animal, plus other sundries, stuffed in a natural casing made from animal innards—nothing more, and nothing less. Hmm. Spoken like a Moto Guzzi technician.
mdude Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Hmm. Spoken like a Moto Guzzi technician. Yup. Haggis: the culinary equivalent of a Guzzi engine.....
tikkanen Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Haggis is in fact a Pudding not a sausage Back in my army days my wife and I went to a Robert Burns Night with a bunch of Jocks. We were the only foreigners and we had a great time watching the chieftain (oldest Scottish officer) saying 'ode to a haggis' and what have you. We were also introduced to the various Scottish dances which was quite funny (especially after umpteen glasses of malt whisky......) With the risk of being rewarded 'Sad Plonker of the Month' I actually liked haggis, neeps and tatties As for the malt whiskies I'm all in for Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Islay (smoked) whiskies are an acquired taste but once you get bitten by the Islay bug you're hooked.... Slainte! Søren
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 With the risk of being rewarded 'Sad Plonker of the Month' I actually liked haggis, neeps and tatties Not in my books mate! Especially with your taste in whisky!! Cheers Jim
big J Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Agreed.I feel a trip home coming on.Must be 5 years since I had a drop of Islay whisky.
ferguzzi Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 hmmm haggis, yes. Looks likes shit, sounds like shit, tastes...kinda yummy, actually. Any chance those idiots with the gun fetish would pipe down? Come on Jaap, they're boring the sh1t out of me.

Guest Nogbad Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Any chance those idiots with the gun fetish would pipe down? Come on Jaap, they're boring the sh1t out of me. You can't propose to ban all the Americans from the site! It would be boring, oppressive and an attack on free speech!
