good luck!

i ate it once, and liked it. very similar to black pudding, i thought.
I had a month to try a plethora of black and white puddings when we visited Ireland/GB and I found a lot of tasty ones and alot of nasty ones. It seemed to be a crapshoot. Didn't try haggis, though.......... someday.... someday.....

whats that?

haggis-
Traditional Haggis (from Evelyn Hlabse, esh2@po.CWRU.Edu)

1 sheep's pluck (stomach bag)
2 lb.. dry oatmeal
1 lb. suet
1 lb. lamb's liver
2 1/2 cups stock
1 large chopped onion
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt

Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12.

* 12 ounces bread crumbs

and just in case you're curious as to what suet is-

You should let down your guard. Live a little. :blah: Might find you actually like it...........

And it's good not to waste. If you're gonna kill for the meat, might as well use the blood, organs, glands, etc....... :dead:

You might also like boudin cajun sausage.
My wife ordered boudin noir in Normandy when we were on holiday in France - she didn't know what it was until it showed up on the plate. She saw it, got a look of horror on her face, and said "That's blood sausage......."

She refused to eat it, so I got to. Have to say, it was the best black pudding I had in Europe. :drool:

This shiite sounds more like a stunt on Fear Factor than a recipe for a culinary delight.
don't knock it until you've tried it. the time i had it, it was far tastier than i had imagined.
