At one hotel we stayed at in London the breakfast buffet included haggis, pork and beans, and blood pudding. I was literally in shock, the buffet food choices were so bad and we were staying in a four star hotel. Google the recipe for haggis, it’s completely horrifying.
Also, the absolute worst hamburger I’ve ever had in my life was in a popular London pub. It is beyond me how anyone can take something as simple as a hamburger and ruin it.
Food aside, we did enjoy our visit to Great Britain.
Haggis is sort of like our livermush. As the LOLcats say, DO NOT WANT.
I had fish and chips for dinner one time, and they were really good.
Do not go to Britain for the food. With few exceptions it is exceptionally nauseating—and always has been.
My wife is South African, went to the best of schools (which means British), and cooks very competently. I have had to counsel her on what Americans will and will not consume. Her meals are delights, and I am one that really enjoys the cooked however tomatoes. The sausages and sticky gooey puddings, not so much.
If I can get to mustard with enough of it the inedible can be made edible!
Blood pudding is great. Especially with scrambled eggs.
Robert Burns, Scotland's most famous poet described it as health food, noting that haggis, "the chieftain of the pudding race" gives a Scotsman the power to make his sword whistle and slash the arms, legs and heads off his enemies.
I happen to like haggis and will be feasting on it at the next Robert Burns Night dinner and dance in two months.
I’m pretty sure any haggis served in the US is missing “lung”, the Feds banning its sale and/or inclusion in any food stuff.
I reckon haggis is the reason the Scots invented scotch...so they wouldn’t be bothered by what they were eating.
