My Day of Haggis *or* Walking With Deth At My Side

[Scotticher]

Yeah, well I thought that was Gram’s brogue, so I spelled it right. Which doesn’t explain why mom pronounced it that way, but I guess I just thought she was saying it the way Gram did.

Haggis is made from offal, just like your hamburgers. Except it has oatmeal and various spices as well.

I don’t know whose hamburgers you have experience with, but my hamburgers are made of lean ground beef. I think you meant to say “hot dogs”, which are, indeed, made of leftovers from the meat packing plant. In a haggis, the chef knows exactly what ingredients are included. In a hotdog, it’s anyone’s guess - whatever’s left once the “useful” meat’s been processed, and it varies depending on what’s available. Scary stuff. **

Potted meat or Vienna sausages would have been a better example. The only hot dogs and bologna that contain byproducts these days are supposed to be labled as such.

**Apparently, the sheep’s stomach that the haggis was kept in had ruptured and/or exploded all over the microwave earlier. **

Heh. Irradiated haggis.
