    You left out "revolting". Only good thing ever come out of Scotland is single malt whiskey! Isn't the casing for haggis lamb scrotum?

    I cannot believe you would side with the Angles against your cousins the Scots,
    unbelievable, the casing is traditionally made from sheep's stomach.

    If your haggis casing has been made from lamb stomach, scrotum, or any other part, you've been fed a city-produced, ersatz Glasgow Haggis™. Real haggis, from the Hielans, is made from (of course!) the wild haggis, haggis scoticus (MacB). Its taste is much more subtle than that of the Glasgow fake - well, it could hardly be less subtle! In fact, real haggis connoiseurs claim to be able to tell the deiseal sub-species from the widdershins one by their taste alone. Try doing that with one made from a sheep's inedible bits!

    Vegetarian haggis? I suppose you then have beef neeps and venison tatties on the side? And start your day with salmon porridge? Of course, you have to have non-alcoholic whisky to wash it down with.

    Aye, a sad momentary lapse of reason, old friend. Yet I was never going to side wit the Huns, even with a Gomez leading the attack!

    As for Haggis, I tried it at the Scottish booth at the Folklife Festival in San Antone one year and confess I actually liked it. As for my cousins, their food is generally worse than the Angle's boil the hell outa meat and peas haute cuisine and which is only a notch below the German potatoes and brat crap! Bizarre foods needs to do a highland's episode!
