Haggis and other Scottish Foods

Oh hell no, I can go to Scotland without trying haggis, I promise.

Honestly I thought it would be awful too, but I ate it and loved it. It was very well spiced, and had a mince meat like texture. I still miss the Haggis I ate in a restaurant in York. It probably helped that it was just grinded Haggis however, and not served in a sheep's stomach.

But of course, you should do what you feel is right for you. Just saying it may suprise you, if you do find yourself persuaded.

The first time that I lived in Scotland (Lanarkshire, '74 - '76) I tried haggis. Never even crossed my mind to try it again. Maybe I had a bad one? I lived in Aberdeen (Cruden Bay) off and on for a few years in the 80's but never had the urge to try it again.

I suppose it depends on who makes it. I was told that it's supposed to be spicy by my ex, but I guess that depends on the cook? I liked the spicy version anyway.

I ate it here:
Loch Fyne Restaurant & Bar

Fantastic place, I thought . I see Haggis is still on their starter menu, though back then it was served with baked pears.

I also ate divine roasted sardines there. I still miss that place sometimes.

I have a lot of things to taste in Scotland, starting from black pudding for breakfast. My husband is intrigued to try haggis....mmm...first I'll see the effects on him, and then maybe I'll decide what to do :D..

Oh this is almost history by now 🤗
Well, I can say that I had a great time in Edinburgh, what a fantastic city and people were so nice and friendly. I have been also very happy with food, such a delight.
And I loved (still love) black pudding and still hate haggis, sorry! 😅🙃
(However I’ll try it again)
I wish to come back to Edinburgh or any other Scottish city very soon.

Y'know, I somehow missed that one my friend :laugh:
I just gorged myself on beer, whiskey, fish & chips, cullen skink, and haggis. Actually, I expected more seafood, but I guess the restaurants we ended up going to on our rushed agenda weren't specifically seafood specialists.

They sell them in finer chip shops in Scotland...
