I don't know. I've never tried it here. But I suppose if the
opportunity presents itself while I am there I will try it. Besides
golf we plan to do some biking. Lot's of little villages, sea coast,
history to see. There will be out of the way lunch stops and so. Who
knows what you'll end up with in those situations? That's part of the
fun.

I heard a story about a man that died and his dog sat at his door for
12 years. The town adopted him so that he could get past the stray dog
rules. 18th or 19th century I think. There's also a place with
connection to the Robinson Crusoe story. And a round of golf takes
roughly 4 hours. Let's not forget that there will be some distilleries
to visit. There will be plenty to do. But I'll let you know how haggis
is if I try it.

What the hell is haggis? Is it something disgusting like shepard's
pie, or blood pudding?

Shepards Pie is just meat, potato, and veggies. Not disgusting. I
think haggis is something made with guts.

Ground mutton and sheep organs cooked in the sheep's stomach.

I kinda like it, a bit of an acquired taste to say the least

It doesn't sound too bad. It doesn't sound as bad as some of the
stuff I had in the army. And us Hungarians have our ethnic dishes
too. One of my favorites is hurka. It's ground liver mixed with rice
and stuffed in a cow's intestine. It's Hungarian liver sausage, much
like kiszka. I can get hurka any time I want but I can't get kiszka.

Haggis doesn't contain mutton for a good reason: mutton has to be
cooked differently and with alot of care so it doesn't taste like a
rancid wool sweater.

I am here at greek peak we had 10 or 12 inches of snow and we are
getting more tomorrow, I can be happy I saw them groom the race trail.

You guys are talking about stuff I would put in my garden and hope it
helped. I damn sure would not eat it.

I will stick with shrimp lobster a bit of scallops and haddock & cod
with veal and other choice cuts from things that moo.. Enjoy your feast
you are making me want to hurl.

Short version: guts in guts. Sounds like something Hannibal Lecter said.

That must be why I only cooked it once 40 years ago. The mint jelly
was good, though.

The sheep gut is what discourages most people
about haggis. It's really meat loaf made with
whatever is available. Commonly ground mutton
with cooked barley or oats (wheat doesn't grow
very well that far north). Then the meatloaf
is stored in the sheep intestine just like
sausage is stored in pig intestine.

Distilleries are neat places. I would warn you
that NOTHING is open except pubs on Sundays.
Then, if you want to bring back some scotch,
buy it at duty-free in Reykjavik. Cheaper than
Scotland.

When we came back from Costa Rica last
week, there was a check point set up AS WE WERE
BOARDING our plane in CR, after we had been
through security and were inside the gate area.

Apparently you could bring back booze in your
checked luggage but not in your carry-on, no
matter what. To prevent good scotch from being
dumped down the drain, ask if you can carry
it on. Note that the check point was well after
where you check your luggage.

I heard that they were looking for booze and
were confiscating same. We didn't buy any even
though there was plenty of cheap/good rum at
the duty-free inside the gate area.

Go figure.
