scottish foods, who's tried...

I tried explaining bacon to a butcher over here... he just didnt get it...

You could make your own "rashers" pretty easy. I eat "loin bacon" prepared this way a couple times a month.

P.S. -> DIY'ing about 4lbs of "mostly" beef haggis tomorrow. Went to the grocer tonight and they had beef heart and liver, and some lamb "stew meat" which will get thrown in for taste (it's the recipe I personally like the most when working with beef liver and heart). Got natural and collagen "bologna" casings (I'll test on the collagen casings before using the more expensive and troublesome natural ones). This time tomorrow... God willing, I'll be eating it.
