Wow. That’s impressive.
It reminds me when I went to a fish and chips joint a few years ago. I don’t know what they were celebrating, but they brought in bagpipers. One of the worst restaurant experiences I ever had.
I know, nothing to do with Haggis, but it’s Scottish.
I was watching Emaril Legasse answer questions on TV. Someone asked him about deveining shrimp. He surprised me by saying it was optional tho he did remove it himself.
That has to be the shrimp’s gut.
No other authority than Sherlock Holmes said that no one makes a better breakfast than a Scotswoman.
Bagpipes are more than ‘Scottish’:

And - just like ‘Whisky’ and ‘whiskey’ - there’s a type that developed in Ireland: Uilleann pipes:

Who knows who invented them first? They could have been first invented far from Britain.
lung is not listed as one of the ingredients. Haggas is proscribed because of the presence of lung tissue. Without lung tissue in the product, it’s legal to import.
If you went to public school in the 50’s, 60’s, or early 70’s, you ate horse meat. It was way cheaper than beef. I remember seeing it at the commissary as a kid. In casseroles and such, you wouldn’t know the difference. I never had the nerve to ask Dad what was in his noodle casserole. I knew I had to eat it or else.
The last one I bought (a couple of years ago) had the baby loose in the box.
Wormwood’, about the absinthe craze of her time.
Malort, made from wormwood, in Chicago Illinois.

LOL! Every time he said, ‘Malort’, I thought he was saying ‘M’Lord’!
I have to go to bed, before I reach the point where that guy wound up.
G’Nite!

Amusing story about Haggis. I lived in the UK for several years and was most fond of Haggis. Returned to visit with my new Mexican wife at a dear friends house. It was New Years day and of course Haggis was served. She ate the hell out of it and liked it. She asked what it was? We all knew what it was except her. There was a great silence at the table and a few grins. I then told her.
I caught hell for this. :)
Atlantic puffers don’t have the toxins their Asian cousins have.
The locals down on the coast of NC call them chicken of the sea.
How about a cake with a gorgeous babe?
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
Nevertheless, they should never be played inside a restaurant. I found them uncommonly obtrusive.
you can keep the lot
>Twinkies should be banned as they have no nutritive value.
Twinkies ! Haven’t had one in years, (diabetic, and they’re hard to find) but there was a segment on some show about Cleveland (Bourdain perhaps) where they went to one of the largest used book stores on the North Coast. It was located in the home of the old Twinkie factory and when they closed down they left all the piping in place. Some twenty or thirty years later they cracked open a valve and out flowed Twinkie juice. Apparently it was just as good as the day it was made.
They would probably make a real good survival food.
Hostess who made Twinkies went bankrupt but reorganized and they sort of live on in a reduced capacity IIRC.
Ya don't say? Lol!
I have eaten ackee in Jamaica, I’m alive.
