Americans First Time Trying Haggis! 

There are actually two distinct species - left and right legged. They never interact.

If your American you'll probably believe that, what Haggis is The insides of a sheep

@@charlesverrier4008 See Scotland History Tours channel, Haggis Dogs video.

@@alansmithee8831 I’ll take a look. Love your movies…

and they lay Scotch eggs.

u visit scotland try scottish food and down it with irish beer shamefull lol

@@thomasskinner2259 well to be fair, brewdogs to much for a first timer, and tennants makes guiness look like holy water

They seem unable to use 2 pieces of cutlery at the same time, but you have to remember they are still a relatively young nation, it takes a long time to become civilised!!

Weird isn't it !

The only part of those meals that remotely requires a knife is the pie. All the rest can very easily be eaten with just a fork.

@@citizenpb or a spoon

@@Violet-to4qq and even weirder the way they seem to cut their food with the fork in the left and knife in the right, then set down the knife, switch the fork into the right hand and eat. So weird.

I love pies 😋 My favourite is " steak and kidney" l am very capable of making good pies !! But you can't buy kidneys from the supermarket or am l wrong ??

@@seanhopton. can buy kidneys at a butchers 👍

@@helenagreenwood2305 Probably.😊

@@seanhopton. Supermarket, I doubt it ref. Kidneys. You can't buy bones either, to make stock to make soup and stew. Stock cubes, just don't work.

@@iriscollins7583 You can't beat the old way of making stock by using the bones !!!

But the face you made was very funny! 🤣

You allowing a 4 year old to drink is child abuse plain n simple. You should not have your niece along with you if at all in your company at all

@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 It was a joke. Get a grip Karen.

What’s wrong with a child taking a wee sip or two??? That’s how we learn. Further, what’s wrong with YOU; do you imagine the child is drinking pints! You owe Graeme an apology for making such an absurd, and over the top remark.

@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 Calm down it was most likely a JOKE and if it wasn't, a tiny occasional sip of alcohol won't hurt anyone and you sound unhinged, calling someone a child abuser! Especially considering it was probably just a joke. Get a grip.

@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 Get ém hooked early.

Remember pal, they're in Glasgow, their seniors party harder than the youth!!

@@stu2333 Yer true. 😂

I was at school a girl in my class who had juvenile arthritis actually had Guinness prescribed to her by her doctor.

Yep. Guinness or Mackeson. I've known both be recommended by doctors.

Neeps and tatties.

I’d say Guinness is a fairly easy beer to start with. It doesn’t taste of alcohol and it’s creamy and not very bitter

Give them a break - they're Americans! They could be used to American "beer". Remember the Monty Python sketch: Why is American beer like making love in a canoe? They are both f close to water.

Yeah I totally agree

You either like it or you don't I don't think you have to "start" anywhere lol

@@morganetches3749 Don't talk so daft!! When i was 16 my older brothers took me out on my first bender, and told me drink Guinness it doesn't get you drunk🙄i was pissed for days, my mum went mad!!Besides beer in America is more of a alchoholic soft drink, its more like soda pop, Americans can't drink strong beer, they have a very child like sense of taste

Yeah I forgot they said that; I was expecting something with plastic table cloths and a veteran's discount...

@@gwaptiva 😂

I thought the same thing! XD

I was wondering about that too, as I enjoyed Cutting Crew's 'I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight' in the background....😅. It looked like an ordinary family pub for all ages to me, but I'm 47 so I'm not in the first flush of youth. Usually if they have a restaurant in the pub, they're a bit calmer, less likely to get rowdy. The 'rougher' pubs in my town attract seniors as well as youngsters🤣

At the start of the video that is ensuring the place can be used by wheelchair users. It’s not specific to elderly and it is law.

If any city could corrupt innocent Mid Westerns into drinking a pint, it would be Glasgow 😵‍💫

@@trespire Cannot tell if deliberate or typo; but either fits

I don’t think Guinness was a good beer to start with

So easily impressed...........

I was in a motorcycle accident and for some reason the hospital put me on the geriatric ward. I was shocked on my first evening when the nurses came round handing out small cans of Guinness. Even though I was in a bad way - almost lost my arm as well as other injuries - it was my favourite stay in hospital.

Likewise for me in the 80s. I went through uni drinking cider, although it was an agricultural college, some of the ciders they had were quite potent. Then I joined a Rotaract club (under 30 and mixed version of Rotary Club) and we had a trip to the Samuel Smiths real ale brewery in Tadcaster Yorkshire and in short, I've never looked back and I now love real ale.

@@brian9731 Not forgetting drinking "lager top", or lager and lime.

I prefer Sweetheart Stout. Less bitter.

Right side has the long legs

@@Maggiejane41 surely it depends if it is a clockwise, or anti-clockwise haggis

@@davidturner1398 true, depends what hill they were born on. Some are lefties and the others are wrongies

First thing I got drunk on was cider I was just swigging it back like soft drink Never felt so ill I still like it but I've never got drunk on it again

Neeps are swedes and are rutabaga (Brassica napus). Although they look similar to turnips they are from different "families". Swedes have a sweet orange flesh, whilst turnips are white and used for feeding cattle and sheep.

Eating grits once was enough for me The Georgia shrimps sound nice though

Indeed, beer goes to the head, whereas a really wicked cider knocks out yer central nervous system - you can feel sober in your head, but your body belongs to someone else! 😂

Whiskey would be up there aswell

It'll be to get the Rabs downstairs at closing time

I recommend haggis home cooked or rather boiled it is much nicer than pub versions chip shop versions use to b good. I prefer it with mash n baked beans too.

Pregnant women would drink stout for health reasons in the not too distant past.

Theres a massive difference between those 3, its easy to tell them apart.

@@christianbuczko1481I couldn't. And I was drinking in Cork, so I'd like to hope they were all properly stored, served, etc.

@@_starfiend strange, unless they figured you wouldnt know the difference and gave you the same thing every time. Beamish especially looks different, and murphy's is creamier than guinness, although its similar in basic flavour.

A company used to make Haggis pizza. It was fantastic. I don't know if they still make them. Asda used to sell them but I don't have an asda near me now.

Haggis cottage pie is amazing!!

@@ladykaycey I had one in Edinburgh. Had a haggis burger as well, it was too much imo lol

@@TheLozzbozz the Haggis pizzas I had were delicious but I'm afraid I've never tried a Haggis burger. It doesn't sound too appealing lol

@@ladykaycey it was too much, it was like it was the savoury version of being too sickly 😂

That looked like a fruit cider, though..

@@wessexdruid7598 All cider is fruit cider! Apple is a fruit... and the "fruit cider" you are talking about is made from apples with other fruits added. Still alcoholic though!

@@calibrax I drink cider. Made from English apples. Heinous people add other fruit to it and THEY call it 'fruit cider'. A bit like the Belgians and their fruit beers.

@@calibrax most flavoured ciders such as Dark Fruits tend to be pear cider as the base before other flavours are added.

If you don't see lots of others drinking Guinness in a place, don't touch it. IF you really want to try a Guinness! Try it in a Dublin pub.

I agree. Having had Guinness in many places you cannot beat a pint from the place of origin! It doesn’t travel too well

@@MrJckDoo Aye, and be prepared to pay an and a leg for the stuff !!

@@blackbob3358 Well if you consider €4.50 an arm and a leg, yes. Unless you want to be able say you gad a pint in Temple Bar, you will pay up to €8.50 there. But the ordinary bars and lounges are not expensive. I fact in parts of Galway and Killarney you can get it for €3.90

Yep! Got a feeling this video could go big for that. Top entertainment!

At least your haggis would have been from a real recipe in Canada, not like the 'adjusted' ones you get down in the US.

Well, most of England would give anything right now for the "cold rainy days"! The eastern side of England is very very dry, as rain comes in from the West, and usually dissipates as it goes East. I have lived in England most of my life and just dont recognise those who describer it as wet and cold! Maybe changed location!

@@marycarver1542 I’ve lived in the S.E all my life, I know all about the heat…..but we are still far wetter than many countries.

14 likes for someone who can't spell, brilliant 👏

@@christianking3915 I bet you point and laugh at disabled people in the street too.

@@christianking3915 I like the 'Huggus' it's a friendly tame version of the wild Haggis.

@@christianking3915 so petty.

@@Thurgosh_OG I'm sorry, I didn't read what I'd actually written. I've corrected it since. Spell check sometimes comes in handy, but quite often it suggests something you've had no intention to write. You just tap and proceed. And then you are as surprised as anybody. That's why speaking English comes much easier for me than writing.

You should, it's really good.

You don't have to be brave. I am a very fussy eater but love haggis, neeps and tatties.

Bloody love haggis.. 👍

Really don’t get how anyone except a vegan could be scared of it honestly

🤣🤣🤣

Scottish History Tours on RU-vid has a video on the Scottish haggis hunting dog, worth a watch for a laugh 😂

@@lilyliz3071 yeah we found it easier to get the dogs too chase the haggis downhill makes it easier to catch at the bottom when it trips over its tiny front legs.😂

Ha. Used to do that on Skye with the kids when on holidays there. Never caught one but close once.

Easier if you speak to the haggis in Gaelic.

Do you know? In a lemonade glass, (Small Class) if you half fill it with Guinness "from the the bottle" and the rest of the way with milk and a spoon of glucose, you have one of the best tonics you will get.

Sounds it. Must try.

That does sound quite excellent to be fair and i’m a Scot 😁 never had it

I always thot it was a lot like stuffing this makes sense that it would be good

Same for me. I do drink beer, and I like many, but Guinness is definetly not my taste! There are many cool small breweries in Scotland, and I tried and did like many beers there, but by default I will go for a good cider.

Yes. Guinness was my grandmother's favourite tipple. She was a pretty decent nutritionist. Once she started driving an Austin 10, my uncle - a garage mechanic - advised her on cutting back! He said it would relax her TOO much!

`Guinness is good for you` or so they used to say 😅

problem is, Americans don't get "irony".........I'll get me coat.......

@@panchopuskas1 uUuuhhhhgggh!

@@panchopuskas1 TAXI!

O thank you!

Scotland does have a bit of a reputation for rubbishy stuff like that, the worst I ever heard of was battered, deep fried Mars bar! I think we are gradually civilising them !

well my friend, whole of europe says the food in the uk is bad xD including all teh brits i know xD and trust me the reason aint ur ww2 food xD but what u call food nowadays xD just go to continental europe and ask someone of the nation with teh worst food and 8/10 say uk xD

@@DaxRaider Bollocks.. Crawl back under your bridge..🙄🇬🇧

UK history, its Empire which is now the commonwealth, introduced us to so much good and exotic food. When US soldiers were here during WW2 the entire UK was subject to very strict food rationing. We all , even children, were allocated a ration book which we had to present when buying food, the only things not rationed were bread and vegetables. All meats, poultry, milk, butter, cream fish etc etc were limited to tiny amounts per person per week. maybe 1 ounce of butter or cheese for an entire week ! So British housewives had to cook with what they had, which was very little ! Now of course, we have the most variety of foods available, every culture has its restaurants here, Curry is considered pretty much a national dish, the pasta dishes from Italy, Lasagne, etc etc are also now considered British ... by us that is ! The British Sunday roast is just about the only meal commonly consumed that we call typically British. Large side of Sirloin of Beef, Yorkshire puddings, GOOD gravy, potatoes roasted until crisp and 2 or 3 fresh vegetables. Beef accompanied by mustard and or Horseradish sauce, our beautiful Lamb with mint sauce ! Sad to say, that large joints of those meats in particular are very expensive nowadays, and to be honest, it needs a really good pub or restaurant to do it properly ! Please tell the GI's that Britain no longer labours under food rationing!

@@DaxRaider Nobody says that these days. The UK is full of Europeans and places like London and Edinburgh are major culinary hotspots.

British food is shit. The only reason it seems better now is that there are more continental and Asian dishes. British dishes are either bland boring crap, or comfort food. I'm British BTW.

How the heck can you compare haggis to marmite are you insane ? Clearly you got a poor quality one

As a beer drinker it’s no wonder you don’t like haggis beer has probably destroyed your tastebuds. N swede is turnip not sweet potato.

Nah, there is no proper way to use utensils as long as they get the job done. But, I guess you probably would get appalled by cultures who eat with their hands, so no fixing snobby I guess.

Actually a lot of people from the North East of England call it Turnip too. 👍🇬🇧

@@Ionabrodie69 They've been corrupted by the foul Scots :-(

What, like Kestrel Super?

Nothing wrong with Guinness 😡🇬🇧

Could have been worse - could have been Tennents.

Yes I had that same problem.. two stones in weight..mind you I could drink 5 pints on a night out… and no I’m NOT one of them tough women…🤣I’m a competitive ballroom and Latin dancer.. 🤣🇬🇧

As they say: Guinness is good for you” - and enough of it helps you dance too! 😉

It's a meal in itself! Lovely stuff :)

More commonly in the UK 'neeps' are called swede, but the Scots usually call them neeps. Other names internationally include rutabaga, yellow turnip, Swedish turnip and even Tuwīti tānapu in other parts of the world.

@@frglee In Scottish English, they are called turnips, and we also have white turnips. Scottish English is a dialect of English, whereas Scots is a different language In English English, the yellow ones are called Swedes and the white ones are called turnips. 🤷🏻‍♀ But, most people in England have never seen a turnip or a swede or know what they are, and they are only very rarely available in the supermarkets, usually around Burns night.
