I am generally not a big fan of innards. I don't like most meat with bones either. I guess I'll be an early adopter of that lab grown artificial meat. That's just my kind of product. No ethic qualms and none of the nastier bits of living animals.

It's a wonderful experience, as is chip shop haggis

When I was going to high school, there was a local chip shop called "The Frying Scotsman" that served, among other things, haggis and deep-fried mars bars. I never tried either, but they were on the menu.

The odd thing about that place is that it was owned and run by a Chinese gentleman. If the "Scotsman" wasn't doing the frying ...

I've yet to meet a person, whatever their fears beforehand, who has not enjoyed haggis. It's basically a peppery sausage

As to the rest you sound a lot like my mum actually.

Is haggis like blood sausage? Because I love it (at least the Polish version). Fried in butter with onions it is delicious.

Your mum must be a total badass.

Similar. But different in crucial ways. But I'm the same, I've yet to find a blood sausage I don't like: black pudding, boudin noir, morcilla

White pudding is also marvellous.

You should check out "kaszanka" (maybe spelled "kashanka" or some such in the UK) in one of the Polish shops.

Ozwplzpnd.

My main obsessions from Polish shops and cafes are pierogi and Marlenka cake

Hmm, not sure I ever heard the name "Marlenka" before. What is it like?

Oh I just googled it. I didn't know it was called that. I didn't even know it was Polish!

You should try makowiec.

I like sandoweic.

Indeed - ordered haggis in a pub in Edinburgh was some apprehension, but it really just was like a sausage meat.

I also tried eating blood sausage as part of a "full scottish" breakfast, and that wasn't nearly as enjoyable.
