what is your favorite way to eat haggis?

[planemaker]

Of all the Haggis that my wife and I had in Scotland, the best was at the Edinburgh Zoo They served it fried in a sausage bun, with chips! It was very good.

Served in a more conventional way, in Innverness for breakfast with scrambled eggs, black pudding, and baked beans.

I like haggis with a spicy tamarind chutney, and served with parsnips and mashed potatoes. And of course washed down with a dram of single malt. I generally also do a salmon for those who aren't as fond of the wee beastie.

Quite a helping all around.

It took me 25 years of marriage just to get my city born wife to eat biscuits and gravy, I'll see if I can get her to eat haggis anyway. Philadelphia has something called "Scrapple", very reminiscent of haggis, of which it's said (Scrapple that is) "If you have to ask what's in it, you don't want to eat it". Probably contains sheep lung fer sher.

I know exactly what Scrapple is though it goes by another name, Pahaas. Looking it up on google it has a Pennsylvania Dutch/German origin and is called scrapple. Down in Texas where I am from my German anscestors did and still do make it and call it Panhaas. It has a German origin regardless of the area of the country you are in. Great for breakfast but not on a daily basis. An old meat market name Granzin's in New Braunsfels and Seguin Texas still make the stuff.....

I have a recipe for Scrapple in a book of Amish recipes ("The Amish Homestead Cookbook") bought at an Amish Farm in Pennsylvania. It runs as follows:

1/2 lb. chopped raw meat (beef or pork); 1 1/4 tsp salt; 1/8 tsp pepper; 1 cup corn meal; 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 1/4 qts water.

Brown onion slowly in a little fat. Add meat, seasoning, and water. Cook at simmering point 20 minutes. Add to corn meal and boil for an hour. Turn into a mold, cool, cut in slices and fry in fat until brown. Serve with gravy or tomato sauce.

[My only doubt about this recipe is the definition of "quart". On the English definition (one quart = two pints), it seems like an awful lot of water! Does it mean something different in the USA?]

In the us a quart is 1/4 of a us gallon which is a little less than a imperial gallon

Wow, a haggis and scrapple thread. Here on the Eastern Shore of Md, the answer to what's in scrapple is simply "All the pig except the squeal. " Consume at your own risk. (I like Kiltedjohn's recipe better)

Let's not let this thread die! By the way I read an article that the lawmakers are considering lifting the "haggis ban" on lungs. Before they said that lungs are inedible!

I like mine fried, we have livermush here. Pig hearts, liver, lights, brains, and poor cuts go into the mix, onions, salt, pepper, cornmeal. My grandfather made both the mush and c-loaf. I remember seeing a pork haggis in a can at Everything Scottish. Next time some of you are around Linville, the grocery stores have livermush.

I had haggis tacos tonight. A good mixture but after two it gets a wee bit heavy.
