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.

You need to get better steak.

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

Is haggis seasonal?

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.

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.

Close, but not entirely accurate, there's also the sheep's heart lungs
liver and kidneys in the mix, and it's put in a sheep#s stomach and then
boiled. Had it for the first time ever here in Italy of all places and
it was excellent, very tasty...
yep, that's the recipe

Well, yes, one would expect that Italian chefs are able to make even
haggis tasty. The Scots on the other hand...

Subject to popular thought, British food is actually exceptional (not
fish and chips) but true roots cooking...head to hoof pork,
beef...excellent stuff

Yes I did. Sometimes my fingers are faster than my brain! But you got
the idea.

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.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.

Is that why they have such nice teeth?

All seriousness aside, I spent three days in London and I remember the
food as unexceptional. I remember the fish and chips as being as bad
as Long John Silver's.

Brain Fried Bob, just about everything on the planet is faster than
your brain.
