Monadnock Porcupines Meet and Greet

[David]

You might want to leave our dear president at home for that.  he might be upset watching his closest adviser eating something so icky. 

[Puke]

Next time I see ya'll at the happening, I'll snarf a big steamin' pile of Haggis. Too bad it won't be served in a sheep's stomach.

I'll join you. I have always been curious. Now I have the chance to try it and I can't pass it up.
I'm most curious about the taste. Do they use spices, like a sausage?

They do use spices, although I have no idea what I've gotten myself into.

Hope I don't takeover your nickname.

Don't do it guys!  At least ask what's in it first before you commit yourself

In your honor perhaps I should try it raw... 

(Now I'll run to avoid the fall-out)

"Because food safety laws in some countries outlaw some of the ingredients in haggis (for example, United States law forbids the sale of any animal's lungs for human consumption), "

"As the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique puts it, "[a]lthough its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour." (p592)"


Now I really would like to try it. I've lived off of MRE's. That is probably worse than Haggis.

Haggis isn't so bad.   Fried haggis is better. 

[Tom Sawyer]

Hey figure it can't be any worst than "octopus embryos in ink sauce", which actual wasn't awful. However I would avoid "sea slug" in the future.

And I won't even go into the "soup number 9" my buddy ate.

Maybe we need a Haggis veteran to lead us into the unknown.

According to their menu=

Haggis! – Taigeis -   Not for the faint of heart.  Created by thrifty
Scottish Highlanders, this is a mixture of minced sheep heart, liver, meat,
oatmeal and spices. It is traditionally boiled in the sheep's stomach (after
it's removed from the sheep, of course), but we use more modern
methods.  Served with Tatties and Neeps, with or without a side shot of
house Scotch Whisky for sipping or dipping.   We recommend the
Whisky....................................................$7.95 alone, $11.45 with the shot

Come on Pat...

All the cool kids are doin' it...

Preparing a haggis might be fun.  Anyone raise sheep?   

The trick to enjoying haggis is: 1) beer 2) not thinking of the ingredients

If you encounter difficulty with step 2, repeat step 1.

I guess that's what the whiskey is for!

man ... I miss a meeting and instead of pizza ....
I am sure u won't die ... right away

[Tom Sawyer]

First the revolution was fueled by pizza...

Later Haggis became part of an extensive initiation rite... The rebels laughed heartily at the thought that any infiltrator would have to choke down a steaming pile of sheep guts.
