“Chittlins are offal.”

There also awful.

No doubt. Right up there with haggis, I expect.

Yes, they're the same thing...

As you may know, chitterlings are usually boiled for a time to clean them and soften them up before being fried. You can smell those things boiling half a block away and it’s not pleasant.

Found this:

HAGGIS

Ingredients:

1 sheep stomach
1 sheep liver
1 sheep heart
1 sheep tongue
1/2 pound suet, minced
3 medium onions, minced
1/2 pound dry oats, toasted
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried ground herbs

Rinse the stomach thoroughly and soak overnight in cold salted water.

Rinse the liver, heart, and tongue. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook these parts over medium heat for 2 hours. Remove and mince. Remove any gristle or skin and discard.

In a large bowl, combine the minced liver, heart, tongue, suet, onions, and toasted oats. Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Moisten with some of the cooking water so the mixture binds. Remove the stomach from the cold salted water and fill 2/3 with the mixture. Sew or tie the stomach closed. Use a turning fork to pierce the stomach several times. This will prevent the haggis from bursting.

In a large pot of boiling water, gently place the filled stomach, being careful not to splash. Cook over high heat for 3 hours.

Serve with mashed potatoes, if you serve it at all.

Thanks... and Happy New year!

Hmmmm....well, I wasn't going to celebrate, but you talked me into it.

Sounds yummy. In fact, I think it's the perfect food [sic] to help me fulfill my New Years resolution of losing 30lbs by June. All I need to do is keep only haggis in the house, and I'm guaranteed to meet my goal.

Of course, it's very possible that I will have starved to death by Valentines day, but what the heck...
