Comments on: Hill’s Butchery & A Burns Supper of sorts with Haggis http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/02/19/hills-butchery-a-burns-supper-of-sorts-with-haggis/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I don't do so well with Offal so I probably wouldn't go for those but hey then again I like to try everything once :) Thanks for letting me know all about them though, they do sound intriguing.

Only thing I don't care that much for is liver, but that's not a deal breaker. The stomach bothers me not in the least; it's far better than "chitlins" or chitterlings (i.e. pig intestine) of the Southern US (from whence I hail). The stomach of an aminmal harbors few bacteria, whereas the intestines...yuck. Plus you never can clean them perfectly so they reek of you know what. Vinegar can help some, but not completely to one with a sensitive nose like me. I have memories of weeks of nausea after my dad making them (he was a purist, no vinegar---oh the smell!!!:().

Hehe I can understand that! :P Hi grace-Aww you're not a coward. I think most of the people had to be somewhat talked into trying it. Hi Cakelaw-Our wasn't really spicy. Perhaps it varies slightly? I'd love to see that in real life! :) Hi nina-Thankyou so much! Wow, your own deli, what a lovely dream and that dish sounds intriguing. Thanks again! :) Hi Alx-Thanks so much! Ah cool, did you have it for a Burns Supper? :) Hi reddoorred-Thankyou! Hehe I can understand that! :P

What a fabulous job you did!!!! I have never tried haggis before, but in my South African food heritage, there is something like haksel(pro: huksil) and it was similar except it was not stuffed in a stomach!! Lovely post!!!

I have seen the ceremony of the haggis a couple of times in Scotland - it's always good for a laugh.

Hi Amanda-Hehe wow, was it a Scottish ceremony with full gear and bagpipes I presume? LOL at cufflinks and Finnish cap. Hi Angela-Yes I saw veal at the supermarket that was grey! Grey veal? Surely not! Hi Arwen-Lol it's a great poem isn't it! :lol: Hi Brianna-Yes do if you've got a chance. I love black pudding too :) Hi Ffichiban-It's full of meaty (actually offally) goodness so right up your alley! ;) Hi Jessica-Hehe yes I really tried to want it but I couldn't but I like to think that I made up for it more recently :lol: Hi Sara-Hehe it's the stuff of legends isn't it! Hi Johanna-I think I'd really love to try a vegetarian haggis! Haha yes it's a bit late coming this making amends :P Hi Alexandra-Haha is that a pun? :lol: Hi Aubrey-Awww thankyou so much! :D Hi iwanj-Ahh cool, I saw them in the fridge section. They did look good but alas I was on my way to lunch. Hi Linda-Ahh perhaps maybe when they're older! But if they like everything else that's certainly good :) Hi HedonisticHostess-I believe that he does deliver Australia Wide so to St Australia it would go in dry ice :) Hi Midge-That's great that you got to try it a couple of times :) Oh yes the idea of blood pudding is certainly not very appetising sounding but the eating of it is so good! Hi Forager-Hehe we had to talk some into trying it but to their credit they did :) Hi SarahKate-I think he's the only one in Sydney that makes it. You're welcome! :) Hi Lisbeth-I'd never heard of pluck before I have to admit! :) Awww that's rather cool but sorry that you're homesick :( Hi jess-Hehe I guess it just wouldn't be Scottish if it didn't! :lol: Hi Blond Duck-Hehe I don't know about that! :P Hi Lilia-I don't know if I could describe it at all :lol: Hi pigpigscorner-Oh very cool! Did it taste very different from place to place? Hi Christie-It was definitely harder than one would think! :lol: Hi Gera-I bet you have some really great traditions and customs from Spain! :)
