gross.

haggis, inspired by our conversations in the vanilla bean thread i made a nice salmon filet last night with a curried mango chutney/salsa (i don't know what you want to call it)
very good.
oh yea, grilled on cedar planks.

Interesting. I've had mango chutney/salsa before, but not curried.
Speaking of vanilla beans, guess what I made last night (finally)?
Re-railing the thread with this delightfully impassioned rendition of "Ode to a Haggis."

It ends with "cream," but it starts with "rum raisin."
Drat. No sound card at work. I'll check it out when I get home.
Fear of something--TB, maybe? I've heard but can't remember.

Sheep lungs, as well as several other offal ingredients, were banned by the US due to the likely causal association between the human prion disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) -- better known as Mad Cow disease. While sheep do not carry BSE, they can carry scrapie, a prion disease that is very closely related to BSE. In fact, it is likely that BSE originated as a result of feeding cattle meat-and-bone meal that contained scrapie-infected sheep products. vCJD is a fatal neurodegenerative condition. It is exceedingly rare -- even in areas where offal ingredients are commonly used. Exposure does not define disease development. Only a very small percentage of people exposed to BSE will develop vCJD although small children have a greater risk than adults. Ultimately, the ban on offal ingredients is to protect us from those nasty little prion proteins. That being said, who's up for a trip to Scotland. I'm sure we could make it through customs. I mean really, what doesn't make it through customs?

So the kids and I will be by tonight to pick up our tub. Unless there's not enough. If that's the case then I'll just look your beautiful grandchildren in the eyes and say, "I'm sorry, guys. Grandpa said you can't have any of his ice cream. It's his special recipe and he said he doesn't want to waste it on you."

If I gave any of that to the kids, DHS would get me for child abuse. Stuff's loaded with rum, you know.

They're pounding down the forum door to read how to skin, fillet and stuff you for dinner. Do you really think I'm the one sullying their opinion of you?
Oooooo, I'm telling RT!!!! He's *so* going to ban you!
Haggette, please tell us about how your dad cooked for you in your formative years. Was he all vanilla beans and haggis, or did he just throw some fish sticks in the toaster oven and call it dinner?
You can buy doggie treats that are made from sheep lungs. A friend of mine gives them to her dogs. They are light...airy, and look like.....chunks about two-three inches long, 1-2 inches wide.

They do that because...because...because they like me. Yeah. That's it. They like me. And you're trying to ruin it.
Here. Have a prion sammich.

Alas, no fish sticks. But I do recall a lovely baking soda duck we had for Christmas one year. I never knew baking soda could be used for seasoning until that meal. It would have tasted better if he'd have just let the damn thing burn. A little contained fire never hurt anyone.
so has anyone actually *tried* the recipe?
Or found a recipe that we can make here in the states? Sheep's lungs may be out, but I know you can buy stomach and other things... maybe not from a sheep but is there an acceptable susbtitute?
I would, really, like to try this out...

There are artificial casings you can use, but I'm not sure where to get them. Maybe ask a butcher?
Here's another recipe from Alton Brown that sounds pretty easy.

i mean, WHAT?
what. the. hell.
no, you can't give out haggis recipes,..you can't make it,...you can't eat it.
no. no. no.
lock thread.
