i used to work with a guy that would make it the proper way, by boiling down a whole pigs head.. it's apparently a southeast pennsyltucky thing.
I've no idea what scrapple is.
The filling of a scotch pie is Minced mutton.
I said "All the innards" because its not exactly the choice cuts of the sheep used in a £1 pie.
boil a pigs head, remove the skull, keep boiling. add cornmeal. keep boiling until its thick enough to make a loaf. slice and fry.
Anytime I watch a Joe Barnes vid and he stops for fish and chips somewhere I get keen to go to Scotland.Can I just get some fish and chips? I'll bring my own tartare sauce, as I'm sure that's not a thing in HaggisBak land.
They sell two different brands at my grocery store, in SoCal. So either a) more people know about it than you'd think or b)whoever is in charge of ordering food for the store is a moron and thought they were ordering Snapple, but got scrapple by mistake.
Sadly no haggis
I legitimately loved haggis while visiting Gary's neighborhood, easily the second best food-stuff from Scotland.
Was IRN-BRU the first?They sell two different brands at my grocery store, in SoCal. So either a) more people know about it than you'd think or b)whoever is in charge of ordering food for the store is a moron and thought they were ordering Snapple, but got scrapple by mistake.

Fuuuuuuuuck no. That stuff is vile.
Whisky was, is, and always will be the greatest thing to come from Scotland.
I was under the impression these two go together: first whisky, then the next morning Irn-Bru to cure the hangover???
Tartare sauce is French bro. I doubt your mercan version is any better than ours which is freely available in any decent resteraunt/cafe that serves fish in Scotland.Can I just get some fish and chips? I'll bring my own tartare sauce, as I'm sure that's not a thing in HaggisBak land.
You'll only get it in a sachet in a chip shop though. And in a chippy (chip shop) it's called a "fish supper"
In an Edinburgh chippy you'll have salt and (brown) chippy sauce.
Glasgow you'll have salt and vinegar.
It's kinda the law of the East/West split.
A tourist about to be thrown in the harbour
oh i knew that would get you riled up 
Oh man looks so good! Your previous pic akchuly made me want F&C for lunch, but stupid work didn't let me...
Guess I need to open a "Chippy" here in Colorado for "Fish Suppers". I need a proper research trip to Scotland first
Where did the rubber come from?
No, that's Gin. Whiskey, like America, is the result of British pver-taxation.
Pedantic Whisky/Whiskey snob factoid, Irish Whiskey tastes like it does because the British started taxing malted barley, so the Irish say fuck it, and just used un-malted barley, and after that started branching out to other grain. Somewhere along the line they added the "e" and here we are.
Good stuff! I thought it was the Canadians and their whiskey, that used the e (Pendleton...yum). Never really considered the irish or Europe. Then again, I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to countries. Sometimes I'm like Mr. Burns. "You mean there's a NEW Mexico?"

Gin and Whisky both start as the same grain alcohol, gin is flavored with botanicals and doesn't get aged, whisky is aged in wood barrels (mostly oak) and that's where it get's it's flavor. The Scots were the first to age the grain alcohol in barrels and invented what we know as whisky, and they spell it without an "e", the southerners down in England preferred the un-aged Gin and beer, but all three beverages are very barley dependent. All whisky traces it's roots back to Gary-land, but it was the Irish who fiddled with the process (mostly out of necessity because of British taxation) to the point where it could be made worldwide by branching out to other grains and using column stills instead of pot stills to make it faster and cheaper. That's why it's their spelling that most other countries use.
The Irish only started making it because the British are total dick-bags and it was illegal to run a distillery in Scotland for a long time, along with a million other things because the British empire's laws made no sense, so some wild-ass Scot fled to Ireland (pre-British rule over there) and started making whisky. Of course once they showed up to do war-crimes the British also forced the English language on them but Irish and Scottish Gaelic are a bit different, so shit translated slightly different, you see it with a lot of last names as well.
What other random whisky knowledge can I ruin/save this thread with?
Fucking health and safety or some other shit cunt molly codling department put a stop to that years ago
In the 20 years I've been coming here you've never managed to rile me up bro.oh i knew that would get you riled up
Your ignorance has saddened me on a few occasions tho.
My mate who was there spectating all weekend actually said the opposite. That Sam looked like he didn't want to be there at all. Fire had gone out and at times rode like a beginner. He showed me footage of him crashing on the hop onto the final bridleway like a Jerry.
Sad times.
