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.  :blush:

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

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 ...  :huh: :yuk:

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.

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 :mmm:

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. :P

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

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! :P

You should try makowiec. :P

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.  :yucky:
