Ah, hold the BLOOD pudding and the BLOOD sausage please. Any my mom’s fried potatoes never left a puddle of grease on my plate.

I actually ate the haggis at a Robert Burns dinner several years ago. I thought it wasn’t bad. Perhaps I should try it again sober and see how it tastes...

I like haggis--both the Scottish version and Saumagen--literally, sow's stomach--popular in the Rheinpfalz region in southwestern Germany.
