Umm ... great article and photos, I think. The looks of it, though, make me very glad that I'm a vegetarian. Kim Woodbridge´s last blog post..4 Sites to Help You Decide What Book to Read Next

Have you done head cheese yet? I wonder if head cheese comes in a can. If you can do canned haggis, surely you can can do canned head cheese.

@Alisa – I collect foods from around the world. He also gave me a generous gift card to Anthropologie this year, if I’m remembering correctly, so I’ll keep him.

@Nordic, I’m so glad somebody noticed. There is no point in being literary if nobody is around to be impressed by me, is there? It doesn’t really taste all that bad. The texture was really bad, but I think that was because it was canned. Once I made the leap to thinking of it like black pudding, it was fine. I bet fresh it would taste better and have more of that sort of texture.

@Pluie, don’t tell anyone but after I did my test and took all the photos we let the kids try it and the 17 month old liked it so much he ate a small plateful. I’m not sure if I get plus points for expanding his palate or minus points for feeding him what was sure to be a week’s worth of saturated fat in one meal.

@Happy2U Wasn’t that line in Braveheart?

@Gerald Why not? Surely a big man like you isn’t afraid of a bit of congealed fat are you?

@Titmouse – it was beefy oatmeal, that was brave enough.

@HeatherB – Haggis in a sandwich seems a bit much. What kind of bread?

@Dawntrenee I used to go to this restaurant that made the best alligator chili. I don’t know that I could actually taste the alligator because it was very highly seasoned but it was good. I am a picky eater, too. I won’t eat bagels.

@MadFab – it occurred to me yesterday that the plague I’ve been struck down with (weakness, chills, sweats, diarrhea, various and sundry mucus both thick and runny, headache, sore throat and lack of appetite) might somehow be related. Then again, correlation is not causation.

@Tara Hi! You have the best avs. BTW everyone, see Tara’s last blog post? Go and read it!

Hey there, just coming over from Twitter and saw that Haggis and my first thought was On. Hell. No!

I’m with Mike right back at the top there, no Haggis – canned, fresh, or frozen – will ever pass my lips

Grrrrross!

I fear your commitment to eating canned meats of every description is going to do bad, bad, terrible things to your body some day.

You are much braver than I. I am a very boring eater, although I have had alligator, but it was deep fried - does it count - not really. May I never receive gifts of "exotic" foods. Dawntrenee´s last blog post..YouTube for YouBusiness

I like Haggis. I had it as a haggis sandwich at a cultural fair once. Mmmmmmm

Beef??? That was NOT real haggis! No wonder you didn’t like it!

There is a guy in town that makes the real thing, I have to go get one now…
