    It used to be traditionally made inside a sheep stomach, but these days they used something else, I dunno plastic or something.
     
  6. Nah. You still get it inside the guts. But you do get a vegetarian version now. Have you ever heard anything so outrageous. How can you replicate a bunch of guts and other cast off bits stuffed in a stomach with oatmeal, veg and spices? I've heard it's very nice. Fucking sacrilege springs to mind!

    The Scots didn't invent the kilt either. And Braveheart was actually an American called Mel Gibson. Have you people done anything original?
     
  9. Isn't Mel Gibson Australian?

    I thought he was an American citizen now. But if not, damn, that's even further away from Scotland!

    Whether it's Scottish or English, I tried it once and will not eat it again. Lots of customs associated with one country or culture originated elsewhere.

    Good haggis is a nice treat.
