If You Wear a Kilt, You Gotta' Have Haggis!

Why oh why didn't the Scots invent guacamole instead??

I think a bowl of fresh guacamole would be better than haggis...could be honored in the same way and much more fun to eat...

Thinking the Scots probably did invent guacamole but the English supressed it during the proscription. Recipe stolen by one of the wayward ships of the Spanish armada and eventually taken to Mexico where the locals claimed it.

At least maybe some haggis with guacamole to make it more palatable...

Everyone knows avacados were used to dye wool green in the olden days in Scotland.

Its time the truth be told and guacamole regains its rightful place in Scottish history.

I couldnt agree with you more. I started life in Southern California and moved to Missouri, and I cant seem to get really good guacamole anywhere unless I make it myself.

Being very close to Fallbrook California, (The self named Avocado Capital of the World) and a participant in their Avocado Festival every year, I think we should strat a new trend. We could just stuff a pigs bladder full of the green quac stuff and we would be happy...... and of course the chips to dip into it!!!

By the way, you really need to try deep fried avocados sometime.

I've had Haggis before and can't say that I'm a fan...but it's not too bad with a good hot sauce

BACK TO THE HAGGIS!!!!

Well, after reading this thread I couldnt stop myself, so at lunch time I headed for the chippy and got a haggis and chips (chips in the UK mean, steak fries in the US)

I know that around this time of year, it is customary pipe the haggis in and to to adress the haggis with the words written by Burns, but forgive me, I did neither. Much as I would have like to visit a burns supper this year, I didnt think poetry would be apreciated by a creature that had recently been ground up and stuffed into its own stomach.

However, It was filling and tasty and left me wishing I had more!
