"To enjoy Scotland's National Dish one can either trek some 3000 miles across the "pond" or simply open a can of this authentic Scottish haggis."

I've had it in Edinburg. It's different and it's better than what the English would feed you (like deep fried bread with pork 'n beans).

It's been a while, but I remember it tasting almost like dirty rice. Kinda spicy. |

I'd eat Haggis, but the little bastards are hard to catch and harder to shoot.
Besides, there's only small numbers of them in Kansas, having been imported and set free in the late 1800s by Scottish immigrants. Jim |

From what I hear it is "not legal" to sell animal lungs for consumption in the US. I never bothered to look that up, I just took the hearsay for what it was worth. |

I have had it a few times in Scotland.. Any tourist trap place will sell it.
Nothing spectacular or gross.. Cant remember what it tasted like, and I ate it, so could not have been bad. |

Tried it, hated it. But then again it probably wasn't authentic since I had it downtown Indianapolis.
It didn't really taste bad. It just didn't taste all that good. I ate maybe 1/3 of a bowl of it before I decided I couldn't eat anymore. It has a overly earthy flavor. |

Good Haggis should taste of meaty oats, the mother in law still makes it in the traditional manner and steeps all the ingredients herself......
..... I suffer it under pain of roasting. Personally, I am not a fan of eating offal, but when in Rome?  |

So.... If I weren't able to get the stomach, lung, heart, or liver of a sheep at Albertsons....
How would one go about making a reasonable substitute for haggis here in the US? |

That recipe looks similar to czech itranitza (best I can spell it) or it's cousin Boudan. Of course no lung in either of those and packed in a gut instead of a bag. Boudan uses rice instead oatmeal.
Bet its good with crackers, hot sause and beer! |

I had it a couple of times in Scotland and liked it. You need to try haggis, neeps and tatties. MMMMM. Understand, it's basically poor people's food from the days when most of our ancestors ate EVERY part of an animal and made do withwhat they had. But hey, lots of people today would think I'm crazy for making a meal of white beans and cornbread. Now, THAT'S gooood eatin'! It would do a lot of people good to understand how their grandparents had to live.

Hey- I'm married to a REAL Scotswoman- you're damned right I've eaten haggis- had some for Hogmanay (New Year's), along with tatties and neeps, black pudding, and a little bit of whiskey. Tastes spicy, but not like Mex. or Thai spicy- it's hard to describe, other than that I like the taste. ARFCOMMERS: Don't knock haggis till you've tried it.

EVERYTHING nowadays in Scotland is served deep fried. Even Mars bars and Oreo cookies.....big national health problem. "Wha's fer tay, mum?" "Heart attack on a plate, Jemmy!"

Tourist traps in the UK ALL sell shitty food, since you're a captive audience, and tourists have no time to nor any idea about seeking out other restaurants. Go to out of the way places where the locals go, and you'll discover that English and Scottish cuisine are really good!

Had it on several occasions while in Scotland.
Its delicious when served with tatties and neeps and a yard of Guiness. Taste is very, very similar to liver. You simply must try it before casting judgement.

Tastes just a little better than plain liver. I wouldn't make a habit of it, and it definitely could use some good salsa and maybe guacamole to make it more palatable.
Once a year when kirking the tartan or on Bobby Burns Birthday is enough for me. |
