Saw ...Texas Haggis... wonder what it's made of? Saw very very few sheep in Texas, but a lot of goats for some reason.<br /><br />No British imports to the USA of anything meat or meat-like substances: for example, Bovril is a no-no (fair enough, it's essentially boiled-down cow remains) but one import shop in Chicago told me they'd had their 'Smokey Bacon Crisps' seized at customs. Because it didn't say 'bacon FLAVOUR', just 'bacon' - so despite the ingredients list containing no meat, it wasn't allowed through...<br /><br />Kuti's Royal Thai Pier? That sounds like heaven on earth, sir. Book me a table. For whenever we're next able to visit the UK (ha ha).DuncMcRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757067564266061317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712189.post-38201660078698194392010-01-20T10:48:02.273+00:002010-01-20T10:48:02.273+00:00I think my mum gets her haggis from Texas, strange...I think my mum gets her haggis from Texas, strangely?<br /><br />They got back from a UK trip yesterday (including an afternoon in Kutis Royal Thai Pier) and she had 6lbs of it waiting for her, I used to hate it, now I quite like it and werthers originals in my rocking chair.<br /><br />crazy.<br /><br />She didn't do a single burns night when she lived in the UK, now she come over all Russ Abbot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DQdSuQt0iMDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450503524378948425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712189.post-45487160358373102322010-01-19T20:10:54.664+00:002010-01-19T20:10:54.664+00:00I think the plural is 'haggis' as in: &quo...I think the plural is 'haggis' as in: "Four thousand six hundred and ninety one irradiated haggis!"<br /><br />All my English grammer I learned from Red Dwarf.<br /><br />Interesting to see a genuine recipe though.

Heretic!
Seriously, no...You don't like haggis? Heretic!<br /><br />Seriously, not all haggis is the same. I dislike the McSween's haggises (hagges?), even though they're supposedly 'the best haggis in the world'. I'm going to be making another batch of the Lunan Haggis this year (Issy's grandfather's recipe <a href="http://nmg.livejournal.com/104858.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>) - this evening, in fact - for our Burns Night on Saturday.Nick Gibbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372799838410998693noreply@blogger.com
