Do you know Haggis? It's quite an interesting food, which is a traditional Scottish meal.
It looks just minced meat but contains many kinds of meat such as lamb,which basically accounts for 40%, beef and onions and spices. It sounds good, doesn't it? But many people hate or can't eat Haggis. What do you think is the reason? It's because Haggis contains animals' internal organs, such as stomach, heart, brain (!) and so on. Many people refuse eating before they try it, or even if they eat, they can't feel it tasty because of the image. Before I went to Scotland, many people advised me not to eat Haggis though I wanted to try it. So when I tried it, I was careful. But the first word after trying it is "....? It's normal." Yes, actually it's normal, just smell is stronger. In my case, I don't mind if the meat is from internal organs. But everyone that I know hates Haggis. If you have curiosity about this meal, try it!!
I ate it in a pub in Scotland.
This video shows how to make Haggis. If you are very sensitive about blood or meat, don't watch this video.
Hi,I'm Shiori.

Hi I'm Kotaro Yajima.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that either, but looks tasty! I wanna try this. I do not care for eating this because it looks like a hamburger. You should have had good experiences in Scotland, so you should tell me more about Scottish foods. haha
This is Ms. MacGregor. Can you fix your title to "My favorite food" - or something more interesting, like "Haggis," or "A traditional food from Scotland"?
ReplyDeleteSo, haggis is 60% animal guts? Why did people warn you to be careful - is there a danger that you can get food poisoning or something? The photo of your meal looks delicious - I agree with Kotaro - it looks like a hamburger. You said the smell is strong, but how does it taste? Lamb itself smells a bit strong I think - does it smell like lamb or something different? I think it is too much trouble to buy haggis online - having it once as a tourist in Scotland might be best.
