WE CAN'T WE JUST CAN'T FRIDAY FUNNY

Canned Haggis
We will admit, with apologies to our friends across the pond, that Haggis is one of those things we are pretty sure we would never want to try.  

And then we saw these at the grocery store the other day...CANNED Haggis.  In beef AND in lamb.  

Offal in a can?

Nope, we still can't, just can't do it. 

Any haggis fans out there?

    I would never eat it, but if I knew where to get it I would buy it and wrap it as one of my sister's Christmas presents. We wrap our most regrettable food find every year and give it to each other. So far the canned sausage I found wins hands down, but I believe canned haggis could beat it. (One year I never found anything really gross but I found a fake campbell's soup label on line and printed it, then wrapped it around a can of mushroom soup. The label? Cream of Possum Soup. Yes I am nice like that!

      If you can get one that would be fantastic. I would probably have years of winning with that!

    That is on a list of things I have never tried and never will. I am so relieved you did not partake! I feel gaggy just thinking about it. I, too, would like to find cans of that.

    a Scottish dish consisting of a sheep's or calf's offal mixed with suet, oatmeal, and seasoning and boiled in a bag, traditionally one made from the animal's stomach. No Thank You. I'll pass on this one.

    Recipe if any interested. :} https://recessionbitesblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/haggis-recipe.jpg

      Um, yeah, no. There is no way to even describe it and make it sound good, ha.

    OMG it's my ancestry but I refuse to consider trying it...I think canned haggis would have me heading to the "lavy"....lol...

    I think offal should be canned. And remain in the can.
    One of the few food battles I won against my father (house rule was you ate what was put in front of you) was when I refused to eat any more tongue because I could feel it tasting me as I was tasting it.

      I had a tongue (called "lingua") taco and it was good. Then when I found out what it was, I just couldn't. I said the same thing, I don't know if I want to taste something that could taste me back, ha.

    A turd would look as good as a big gray bloated haggis bladder. The thought of a tongue makes me ill. I've heard cow eyeballs are a delicacy around Del Rio. Hope I never get that hungry.

    No. Never. Absolutely not. I can't believe anyone sells Crap In A Can.

    It is rather tasty actually. We would have it at 'Clan Nights' and it was just like a bit of stuffing really. Mind you, that's the real thing not something in a can.

      Really? Well, yeah, I might consider fresh, but yeah canned just takes it to a whole other level. And not a good one, ha.

    NO, NO,NO. I also don't eat chitlings, tongue, or hogs head cheese. My grandmother put the eyeballs in her homemade souse as she called it. I have a friend who eats haggis, the real stuff, but he is a little odd, lol.

      Well, hello! Sounds like maybe we are missing out on something and should give it a try? Or maybe we just should have grown up with it, ha. Sounds like you have some great memories for it. Blood sausage not sure I'd try that but maybe....

    Thinking about this makes me realize being deathly allergic to mammal products might be a good thing after all.

      Yay for you! That's supposed to be an incredible trip. Can't wait to see pics on your blog. And yes, maybe ask around who has the best and then try it. When in Rome...er, Scotland.

      I don't think there is any way I could try that. I just don't' have that in me. It already makes me gag thinking of it. I'm good!!! Tell Jam I'll send him a can if he wants!
