    Demi-haggis?

    So, making true, real, genuine haggis in metro Chicago is not a likelihood...

    ...how about sharing some "demi-haggis" recipies. Realizing it is not the real thing, but hoping for a fairly quick-tasty-street-legal sort-of-haggis...

    ...anyone have any recipie suggestions? Garnishes and side dish suggestions are welcome as well.

    Thankey, mates.

    Re: Demi-haggis?

    Ive got the sheep's hearts, liver, tongue, kidney and such thawed. Got the good oats ready also. Figure onions and lots of garlic, black pepper, a touch of salt and some rosemary will go in too. Looking over some recipes tonight and it will go into natural collagen sausage tube 3 3/4 by 20 inches big. Ill let you know how it comes out and the exact estimate of what I created as a recipe. Ive been looking forward to doing this, just had to get the collagen sausage tube. Might even get a growler of ale from the brewpub to boil it in, and a growler of ale to drink while making it. Have to find some turnips to make my neeps and tatties. I know my girlfriend will try it, a bite or two, and will also make a good whiskey sauce. Photos will be made of the process and finished product.

    St. Louis is not very sheep friendly. I have trouble even finding lamb chops, and when I do, I have to pimp myself out to be able to afford them. Needless to say, I don't eat a whole lot of lamb.

    The only place to get what I need is in our local Chinatown, but have to replace all items, including the stomach, with pork/beef, sans lungs. Sometimes I get lucky and find ground lamb on sale that I can add in.

    Just use any recipe you find (there's some good ones posted in this site) just use what you can find. And if you can't find a stomach, any local grocery butcher will be more than happy to hook you up with some sausage casings.

    This post is my weekend project at my first haggis. No stomach or lungs but I think I achieved a tasty bit of haggis.

    The program Diners, Drive-ins & Dives had an English food place in Santa Barbara, and they make Haggis. You might check out their website, they have the recipe posted, at least it was still posted on 2-6-12
