Why is haggis supposedly so disgusting? Isn't it basically a big sausage?

>> No.5547302

>>5547296
it's boiled, has a funny name, is grey, and just look at that slimy casing

Most sausages either aren't so blatantly mucosal or hide their intestinal origin with a nice dark sear

I'm sure it tastes nice, it just seems to try really hard to come off as unappealing

>> No.5547311

>>5547296
You don't eat the casing, you scoop out the inside. Its usually well-spiced and I personally find it delicious. Oats and organ meat being some of my favorite foods.

That's good to know. I'd like to try haggis, but I've never even heard of a place carrying it where I live in the States.

>> No.5547384

It's actually very nice, like a big sausage with oats in

People are put off from it because of all the offal and so on involved

You should try it OP, though "proper" haggis (with lungs, pluck, etc.) is hard to find due to restrictions on eating heart and lungs in the US (i think)

>> No.5547389

>>5547384

The heart is not a problem in the US, you can legally buy heart no problem. However there is a Federal law prohibiting lungs from entering the food supply, so the lungs would be an issue unless you slaughtered the sheep yourself.

There's often "highland games" events that are held yearly in the us (definitely in CA, NC, and NH, but likely elsewhere too) and you can usually find vendors selling it (minus lungs as others have said) gives you a pretty good idea, and you get to watch people throw telephone poles and shit

That actually looks pretty decent

Would try/10

No lungs allowed in Canada either.

Also we can't use the sheep colon.
In the states some people have to use condoms.

Why would anyone eat lungs?
I could see it in a nugger maybe but damn.
That makes me think of horrible burning chest coughs.

Why no lungs?

Lung is delicious. The texture is wonderful. Then again, I'm a dirty chink who will eat any animal part.

Look at that disgusting texture to the right. That is the stuff of nightmares.
I'd still eat it since pretty much the only thing I hate is raw onions and I love meat. I'd eat the hell out of a haggis with mashed potatoes. I always feel like it would just taste like a meatloaf, but more interesting.

>Why is haggis supposedly so disgusting?
It's really a conspiracy started by the Scots themselves to prevent the extinction of the wild haggis. The poor things have enough of a struggle in the harsh Scottish environment without being hunted to death by Americans and Chinks and Borneo cannibals.

because just look at it.
It looks like a swollen corpse left to rot in water that is breaking through the skin

Someone post the picture of the american condom haggis.
That stuff is gross.

Haggis is great. I prefer to slice it about an inch thick and grill it. Not slimy but crunchy and spicy.

What kind of haggis holds together like that?

Wouldn't it just come spilling out of the condom?

>> No.5551148

They could've at least drained that or put it over rice. That looks fucking nasty

These just look sloppy because they have been boiled. Check out Macsween haggis
