Haggis is one of Scotland's more specialist foods. But what is haggis? Where did haggis come from? How do you eat haggis? Why is haggis Scotland's national dish? Why is haggis banned in America? And what about the fabled wild haggis?

I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.

@salchipapa5843 Год назад

Seems weird to me that the FDA would ban haggis but would allow countless other actually dangerous products in our foods (a lot of which are banned in Europe, for example). Political lobbying is a nightmare in the US.

@lindasworld5238 Год назад

Whole heartedly agree!!!

Haggis sounds pretty awful. I have eaten heart, kidneys, head cheese, tongue, pork hocks and liver, but never mixed together with onions, oatmeal and boiled in a stomach. Blood sausage doesn’t sound very appetizing either. Thanks Robert. Always educational and entertaining. 👍👍😊 Bon Appetite

@salchipapa5843 Год назад

Blood sausage is delicious if made right. It's a popular part of barbecue "culture" down in Bolivia (where I'm from), and probably other meat-heavy countries in South America. In the UK it's known as black pudding.

I have a lot of German in my heritage, and I grew up with something similar being made by my Dad on 'special occasions' - pig's stomach stuffed with cabbage, potatoes, onions, and sausage/ground meat, and herbs, then roasted. I was never a fan and don't mind at all that this dish won't ever be made by me or my kid. 😄

@carinshaffer5980 Год назад

Pennsylvania Dutch German heritage here... it's called hog maw. Ours had the cabbage, sausage, potatoes. It was stuffed, then sewn up, and baked in the oven. As kids, my brother and I didn't like cabbage, so Mom made ours without. We all only ate the inside, but our Dad would eat a little of the outside, if it was super toasted. 🤢

My daughter just married her boyfriend and bought a house in Paisley! I'm coming from Kentucky to visit her later this year! She thinks she's gonna find a way to trick me into eating haggis! That'll never happen! Here is the south we have chittlins, which is pig intestines, cooked by boiling or then frying them! I would never eat chittlins! The strangest food I've ever seen or heard of anyone eating anywhere to this day, is what my grandmother used to cook for my grandfather's breakfast, pig brains mixed with eggs and fried! I still get dry heaves thinking about it! America could definitely give the Scots a run for their money and bizarre foods!! 🤣🤣🤣

@mcgregorpiper Год назад

It is the lungs that make it illegal, since you can buy liver and heart in the USA (albeit beef because lamb is harder to find) Lungs are essential to proper haggis because that is what gives it a light and airy texture.

@adrianred236 Год назад

Might have been black pudding your gran made.

Depending where your Grandma lived it may have been something called pig stomach which is sort of a German type dish. Which is baked in a stuffed pig stomach which is ground meat with onions and potatoes.

I've never heard of that. How do you get involved?

@mcgregorpiper Год назад

You actually won?!! I would search for it every time and never won. However, I became drawn to the camera in Oban and now it is a requirement that every time I go to Scotland I must go to Oban. As a result of that requirement, I have made some good friends in the area. So I guess, I could say that in a way, I did win the haggis hunt.

@RobSchellinger Год назад

@@laurarobertson972 It ended several years ago. It ran from St Andrew's Day to Burns' Night. They had a webpage with 8 cams around Scotland and every once in a while they would put up a still photo with a haggis on it. You had to click on it and submit a short form that you spotted one. Extra credit if it was a golden haggis. Christmas Eve and Hogmanay had the most. Each week there were drawings for prizes. The grand prize was like a case of whiskey and a trip, I think.

In Louisiana they have a type of sausage called "boudin" or " boudain" that's made with pork liver and rice, stuffed in a casing. Most people take it out of the casing to eat but some eat it just like any other link sausage. Every cook and family makes it a little bit different; there are many butcher shops/meat markets in Louisiana and East Texas that sell it. The local grocery stores in Houston usually have several brands and varieties available. If you've ever had "dirty rice" or "Cajun rice", that's basically what goes in a boudin casing. Pretty tasty stuff, often served with crackers or bread to spread it on. Some brands have more liver or organ flavor than others.

When I was a kid my dad used to tease me saying that Haggis was a small animal in the Highlands that were hunted, but during Haggis Hunting Season. He used to tell me they had two legs on one side longer than the two on the other so they wouldn't fall down the hills when they ran round them. I used to wind my kids up with the same story when they were younger. They've even gone on to wind some of their English friends up with the same story. Actually managing to convincing some of them as well. Although only for a while. Then they all wind someone else up about it. Usually over a few pints 😂😂

Hahaaa!! Why indeed! I really love the haggis 'statue'. 😍 If that were in Australia, it would be 7 metres high and big enough to house a gift shop.

We have the Big Ram, the Big Pineapple, the Big Prawn and even in Tasmania, we boast the Big Penguin, which isn't actually that big - although, as a relative of mine defensively claimed "It's big for a penguin!" 😂😂) I've never tried haggis - my parents were mad on black pudding and that was disgusting enough for me!

I love Haggis, I first had it when I was in the RAF and stationed at RAF Machrihanish near Campbeltown in the early 80’s. We used to celebrate Burns Night, not because of any connection with the RAF to Burns or Scotland, but because any excuse for a booze up! I used to buy locally made Haggis from a butcher in Campbeltown to take home to my parents when I was on leave, they liked it too, along with Scotch Pies and proper Loch Fyne kippers!

I've eaten haggis many times in the USA. It is still made over here, but usually only for Scottish events, such as Burns dinners in January. I've eaten it several ways. The funniest though was when I was attending a Burns dinner for the Scottish Historic and Research Society (now gone). It was a Scottish gentleman who pulled out his flask and poured whiskey on my Haggis. He thought that my being American I wouldn't like it plain so he loaded it with whiskey. At least I enjoyed the evening better as I was much younger then most of the people who attended the dinner. The dinner was kind of slow that year.

@EngelsNederfiele Год назад

If you look at Icelandic and Norwegian recipes-preservation methods, Haggis is likely derived from northern Viking necessity. Long gone in the UK is the preserving of meat during the summer months, wrapping it in a durable natural casing and burying it in the ground (peat bogs in most instances, but anywhere where there was significant acidity) to use during the 'lean months.' On recovering this meat, you'd need to mix it with other things to reduce the taste and sweeten the smell, then hold it in a former (sheep's stomach), using boiling as a method to heat it through to kill off unwanted bacteria; whilst also neutralising the worst effects of the preservation. The copious consumption of Whiskey whilst eating Haggis, might have been to use the high strength alcohol as an insurance policy, against upset stomachs if the preservation of those meats were questionable. Burn's night might just be, latterly and partially, a celebration born out of that Viking necessity.

"I heard he's been living on the roof." "Why is he living on the roof?" "Somebody said that the drinks were on the house."

@k.jespersen6145 Год назад

The haggis served at U.S. Burns Nights always has to be made in-state and cannot have lungs in it. (It tastes pretty darned good, even without.) Some people still sneak in full-on haggis, but it can't be what is officially served, and the organizers are not liable for any food-based upsets if the person in question tried a haggis brought in from outside. ...of course, since it's such a specialty and so is rather rare (rare=expensive), most of the Burns Nights here serve the haggis as spoons full that get put on a cracker. It always seems a little incongruous to eat the finest of the pudding race on a cracker.

Very interesting video, as usual. I'm an American and I just cannot imagine eating haggis...maybe I am too picky of an eater...

Should be called 'What's been written about Haggis' -I'd like to know what it tastes like BEFORE I try it. Sounds like Beef Hash or Pork Sausage which I do like.

Homer was born between 800 and 900 BC not 8000 BC which would be just after the last ice age.

This is not too dissimilar to Boudain which is basically the same parts of a pig, parts that normally would be discarded, mixed with cooked rice and stuffed in a sausage casing. Rice not being a Scottish staple, I can see why it’s not a part of your recipe. I’ll bet if you tried it made that way, you’d love it.

If you want a terrible case of the gout, go ahead and eat it. My husband was crying in public in the Emergency Room with his worst case of gout, caused by eating organ meats.
