Haggis

no waste
odd taste

strange dish
haggis

Scotch hype
beef tripe

entrails
pig's tails

fish heads
sweetbreads

offal
awful

Congrats, Reason. Some of that food looked pretty disgusting. AWFUL is right on that dish you have described.

Congrats on your winning work..Way to go..I am not too fond of the strong flavor of kidneys and liver..I don't know if there is enough onion, garlic, etc. to cover that up..Thanks for the visit to my page..Being diabetic one can have a small amount of sweets but it does run the blood glucose up and that is not good for the body..Sara

I tried it in Scotland and honestly it tasted a whole lot like turkey giblet dressing only more compact. A lot of hype. Thanks for the time.
