    People don't appreciate offals like they used to.
    I'm born and raised in the Southern US, and offals are still eaten very commonly here. Grew up on livers, gizzards, chitterlings, feet, the works, and I'm so happy to see someone else preserving this very old food-culture!

    Hello
    Excellent video. I am in my late 50's and remember as a kid mum going and buying half a sheep then we would take it home, Butcher it then into the old chest freezer. We never made haggis but we all had liver and made our own sausages. We were given lungs once but none of us liked it. Mum was told she should have cooked it with onions in milk. I have tried Haggis once and like it (Must buy it more often). I find that the older generation eat more Black/Blood pudding, Haggis and Liver but in those days we were told to eat what was on our plates and not to waste food. I think I would prefer the onions (More of and bigger diced as I love onions)

    THANK YOU!!! Its great to see the humble haggis prepared and presented to the world in such a fine manner. All you need now is some chunky mashed potatoes and a nice pint of Scottish ale. Wonderful job, Scott. I'm in rural southern US so sheep anything is not easy to find. I've made haggis with whitetail deer pluck and it was absolutely wonderful. The only addition to what you did here was that I added fresh parsley for a touch of color and for a slight herbal finish.

    • @70blondeboy
      @70blondeboy 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      James McMillen I'm sorry, I have to correct you there - the best accompaniment to Haggis is a very good single malt ( preferably several ), not ale :-) ( huge smiley ). Ahh, brings back memories of many happy Burns' Night suppers :-)

    I had the best rich, peppery haggis I ever tasted on a cold, rainy, raw day in Fort William (the plan had been to walk a little way up Ben Nevis, but it was threatening to turn to snow. In late August.) The waitress didn't want to bring it to me, and kept asking if I knew what it was -- then the kitchen crew looked out the kitchen door to see if the American was going to boak at the table. Haggis, tatties and buttered neeps, a fire in the hearth, and a glass of the Glenlivet -- stormy day plan for NOT hillwalking in the highlands.

      Haggis isn't really banned in America, you just can't import it because of the lungs. The Scots are always a thrifty lot, and use every part of the animal. But here in the States, I've made excellent haggis, using what's available, in true Scottish spirit. Liver, kidney, heart, tongue, even sweet breads from time to time, steel cut oats, still makes a delicious treat.

    I do love a good haggis. Have some bubbling away in the slow cooker right now. I live in America, so can't get a real pluck. I use various organ meats as available, in the true Scottish spirit. Livers, hearts, kidneys, bit of tongue if you can find it. For oats, I get steel cut oats at the health food store. Much better texture than American rolled oats. Burned out my blender last year, but now I have a real hand grinder to mince the meat. Can't get sheep stomach either, but I have figured out how to use a plastic liner in the slow cooker. Looks as good, and you don't eat the casing anyway.
    Too many people cringe at the idea of haggis because it's outside their experience, but it's really just sausage. And delicious, if made right. Thanks for all you do mate.

    There's a very interesting parallel here to food we eat in South Louisiana, US. We have a natural casing sausage called "boudin" that is made with pork bits vs. Sheep, and uses rice vs. oats. We also have a similar "loose" mix we call "dirty rice" that is either eaten on its own or stuffed into a bell pepper and roasted as a side dish or used as a stuffing for chicken.

But all absolutely delicious, this truly has to be one of the finest dishes in the world.

And thus will know where to obtain frozen haggis. I really like the stuff. A little homework on your part,it really is easy to cook .

    My grandad had a chip shop for many years (27) and when I would go to them on our school holidays I would need work for my board (so to speak) cutting fire wood and help catch rabbits, walk the dogs and help in the chip shop. My first thought in my head when traveling up on the Grey & Green bus was a haggis pudding supper. Now your haggis I could taste this right out of the pot. Looks spot on.

    Actually, haggis may have originated in poverty, but it's good nutrition, too. I remember a speaker we had in High School who described a winter he and a group of friends spent with the Inuit people of Alaska. He and his white friends cut out the steaks, chops, and muscle meat that they were used to eating in the lower states and the Inuit said, " You'll get sick.". Then he saw that the Inuit were eating pieces from all the internal organs. Two months later, the whites were suffering from severe multiple vitamin deficiencies, and the Inuit were healthy. They then realized that, in an area where vegetable where unavailable, enough vitamins to survive could be gained by eating organ meat. Have you ever noticed that, almost everywhere you go in the world, the rich people who eat only the finest cuts of meat are much shorter, weaker, and less healthy as the middle class and working people who cannot waste any part of the animals they have.

  • @siouxsettewerks

    Do you think Haggis wouldstand up well to being vacuum packed and frozen?
    I've got great memories of having Haggis in Scotland, as a kid, but living in France, there's approximately zero chance to find Haggis, even at the most decent of butcher's shop!
    This seems so tempting, and I guess getting the offals wouldn't be too problematic, but seeing the quantities and labor involved, it makes sense to make those in batches, hence the question!
    Also, if vacuum packing it and chucking the haggises it in the freezer is a viable option, would it be better to do that after a first cooking, or not?
    Or maybe canning would be best?

    • @keithhanley7796
      @keithhanley7796 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      siouxsettewerks I don't know if you've gotten an answer to this question yet, but I would imagine that haggis would be very well suited to being vacuum- packed and frozen - it's a sausage, after all. And like other sausages, I would think that you could freeze it at any time after packing the meat mixture into the casing. Of course, I might be wrong - freezing may affect the texture. But certainly, food safety wouldn't be an issue, as long as you follow the usual procedures.

      That's interesting. I imagine that serving the pluck in an average restaurant wouldn't go over well here in the states, but there are a lot of restaurants popping up that serve some very sketchy items so I think haggis should be legal. Here in the US haggis is typically spoken of in a negative light, but I don't think many have actually tasted it.
      I'm with you, I certainly want to try some. I'm traveling to Germany in Sep, I hope to be able to catch a flight to Scotland at some point and try some. Cheers to you mate!

      Gzus When I was young I used to work as a Kitchen Porter ( a grand title for a washer-upper and general dogsbody ! ). The chefs all used wooden blocks. I'm lead to believe that wood is a natural antiseptic. Also, at the end of each shift, the chefs would use a wire brush to scrub salt ( another antiseptic ) into the blocks ( the salt also drew out any moisture ), then fling it onto the floor for muggins here to sweep up. Probably not the sort of rigmarole you want to be doing 3 or 4 times a day at home, but that's how the pro's do it, when they've got someone to clear up after them :-)

      It's actually those who find this disgusting that have a problem, spoiled people nowadays are too used to shit procesed food that they lost touch with the deliciousness of real food like this

    I'm going try this recipe as is but I usually prefer my haggis with some barley as well and some bigger pieces of onion in it. Looking forward to trying it this way!
