Whats Haggis?

EugeneSully 25-01-2006 06:31 PM

its like liver heart and other lambs body bits put together... and some other normal ingredients.

I don't personally like it. Used to until I found out what was in it. :thumbs:

Haggis ingredients:

Sheep's heart, lungs and liver (cleaned by a butcher)
Beef or lamb trimmings
3 cups finely chopped suet
One cup medium ground oatmeal
Two medium onions, finely chopped
One cup beef stock
One teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
One teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon mace

Traditionally cooked in a sheep's stomach, but most of the ones you buy in the shops are in a plastic bag! :tongue:

Sausage skins are tradionally made from sheep's intestines, but some of the mass produced ones you buy in supermarkets are made from cellulose! :shocked:

EugeneSully 25-01-2006 06:53 PM

Ewww what's celloluse?

Kaz 25-01-2006 07:04 PM

Too complicated to explain in a few words, Steph ............ but read THIS ..... think

EugeneSully 25-01-2006 07:06 PM

Will ask Biology teacher tomorrow. Should waste some of the lesson! :spin:

Kaz 25-01-2006 07:32 PM

Glad to hear it, Ziola ....... hope you enjoyed your's as much as I did! :thumbs: :xyxwave:

O, my luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O, my luve is like a melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
till a' the seas gang dry.
Adn I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Thanx Kaz, and a happy burns night to you too, from the land o burns here in Ayrshire.

Although, I don't really celebrate it. I can't stand the thought of haggis, and I was catering for 60 pre-school kids today whilst listening to a piper and some traditional scottish songs being belted out by the kids!..

*oh ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus....:laugh:

Kaz 25-01-2006 07:50 PM

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Did they sing this one ...............

Oh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twenty story flat,
Seven hundred hungry weans will testify tae that.
If it's butter, cheese or jeely, if the breid is plain or pan,
The odds against it reaching earth are ninety-nine tae wan.


The Jeely Piece Song. Pure class. :thumbs: :laugh:

I remember at when I was at school I won (jointly) a Burns recital contest. Well chuffed, I was.

The poem was called 'To a mountain daisy'. :hugesmile:

Wee, modest crimson-tipped flow'r,
Thou's met me in an evil hour;
For I maun crush amang the stoure
Thy slender stem:
To spare thee now is past my pow'r,
Thou bonie gem.

They really go in for it at the schools round here though, don't they. I didn't realise it was really bothered about in schools outwith Ayrshire.

We were teaching the weans this one today:


SOME HAE MEAT AN' CANNA EAT
AND SOME WAD EAT THAT WANT IT
BUT WE HAE MEAT AN' WE CAN EAT
AND SAE THE LORD BE THANKIT.
