Lol i gota admit here (dont tell Slug or El Presidente) i dont like "Neeps" (turnip/suede, the orange thing in the pic) :)
 
Lmfao i can imagine them neep-headed pals of yours :)
Now that is PUKE! anyone who enjoys the taste of turnip but boaks at a fine wee hairy haggis!! Turnip tastes like... warm flat beer.
My canadian ex made a lil twist on the "Burns Supper" though and made haggis with mashed potato and SWEET potato... that was really nice man :)

Have you tried turnip greens before? If you go online and google a good southern recipe, I bet that would somewhat change your tune. *sighs* I miss my mom's cooking.

Actually luks sexy there :thumbup:
Thats the type of dish a bloody Yank or Brit would buy in scotland for a rediculous price lol.
Bet its nicer deep fried in batter and served with chips (FRIIIIS) and "broon sauce" like we buy it round the corner :D

Right you, stop Wi yer lies... either you ain't fae paisley or you don't have a haggis supper wi broon sauce! Either that or its the thick crud the west coast call broon sauce! :-P

I'm from Edinburgh originally and moved to Ayrshire in 98 and hate the sauce ower here, even though I've spent more than half my life here! ;-)

I do agree that it's lovely deep fried, but then I also kinda like the veggie one, well the microwave version , as it is a but nicer than its meat counterpart, but only that ready meal one :-P
 
Talk about playing to sterotypes!

National Stereotype: our two Scots friends love haggis, things deep fried, brown sauce, chips and tatties

Local Stereotype: the friend from Edinburgh (posh) likes veggies while the friend from Paisley (not so much) doesn't.

You guys should be ashamed ;)

You should be proud of me, I didn't post the how to speak Scottish YouTube because it focused on those stereotypes.

You didn't weigh in on neeps though so I'm penciling you in as neutral on that.

P.ps, check the ingredients of hot dogs and google the definition of each ingredient :p

The same could be said of all the heavily processed crap I eat every day...page-long lists of scientific-sounding ingredients that I have no idea why they bother because when my wife makes the same dish she uses regular stuff and it tastes great, doesn't cost much more (would cost less if prepared in bulk at a factory), and lasts just as long in the freezer.

Actually...one of my favorite brands, Hebrew National, has far less of that sort of thing.
Beef, Water, Contains 2% Or Less of Flavorings, Garlic Powder, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Paprika, Potassium And Sodium Lactate, Salt, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite, Spice.

Gotta love "flavorings" though, WTF is that supposed to mean?

I looked up Hebrew National first expecting the least offensive ingredients, but actually...Ball Park, another of my favorites:
Beef, Water, Corn Syrup, Contains 2% Or Less Of: Salt, Potassium Lactate, Partially Hydrolyzed Beef Stock, Sodium Phosphates, Flavorings, Sodium Diacetate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sodium Nitrite, Extractives Of Paprika.
Pretty close to the same.

Now you want the scary stuff?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_wiener
These are a local delicacy where I am. Ok, I'm not sure 'delicacy' is the right word, but they're local. If you think you've had something similar elsehwere, you haven't...at most you've had something of a similar description/image. I have no idea what's in them but it's got to be absolutely horrid. Might be garbage from the landfill, might be byproducts, might be people, might be the byproducts of Soylent Green manufacturing or garbage from the Soylent Green offices. They taste SO GOOD though, and I ain't dead yet!

It costs more?

Unless I'm doing something with really special, expensive ingredients (for which there would be no pre-packaged equivalent), the price per portion for my home cooking is always much the same or less than I'd pay if I ate pre-packaged stuff.

.. so long as you don't take my time into account, of course :D

The other advantage of cooking your own stuff is, all those food scares? Usually (not always) only affect pre-packaged food.

Seems that way, using ingredients from the same discount mega-chain where I buy the prepackaged stuff. However, I might not be doing a proper direct comparison since we tend to use more of the expensive ingredients. For example, a serving of homemade pot roast has way more meat than a serving of frozen crap. There's way more cheese on our homemade pizzas than frozen. Etc.

Siri has no chance :)

I in Edinburgh a few years ago. I mentioned to someone that I didn't have a difficult time understanding her accent. She said she was from Australia.

Overall, at least in Edinburgh, I found the people easy to understand. I think the reason is that there are a lot of people from outside of Scotland who are there most of the time since it is a university city. I haven't gone to any other part of Scotland.

Funky have you ever had Chitterlings ?

I have, since I was born and raised in the South. You can't just eat anyone's chitterlings though, they have to be good and clean before you cook them. They also taste best with hot sauce.

By the way they're pronounced as chitlins. :)
