In Sweden it's called "pölsa" Usually contains heart instead of liver. Seasoned with allspice. It's eaten with boiled potatoes, pickled red beets, and a fried egg. I make mine out of moose meat, but sheep is common too where I live (Jämtland).
Hi Jörn, tack for your reply! One of my Icelandic friends said they have a version called lifrarpylsa (liver sausage) and so the similarity with your pölsa is certainly there in the Norse root of the word (pylsa and pölsa). The Polish polska kielbasa is also similar. In truth, as I mention in the video, I'd never eaten or made haggis and somehow had in my mind that it would have more of a moist and dense pudding consistency (like and English blood or Christmas pudding in a mold). After having done this video I now believe it to be nothing more than a sausage, really. My father hunts, and I have some of his ground elk, so I may try it with that. He has also given me ground moose, but the flavor was a bit too gamey for my taste.
AND, pölsa is made with barley...as far as I can remember lol (20 years in the US). I thought haggis was, as well...I was kinda surprised by the oats. Oh, and of course...when the Danish and Norwegians say "pølse", they mean sausage.
Lol! Yeah, like I mention in the video, the breadcrumbs I use to bind my meatloaf (similar to the other grains talked about here) and the general spices and method have sort of convinced me that meatloaf is just “American haggis.” 😂
@@shieldmaideninthekitchen Yum, moose is AWESOME! But pölsa probably should be intestines...liver, kidney, heart etc. And yes...a sausage. Though When I think sausage, I think firmer and stuffed sheep bowels. But you mean like Italian sausage or chorizo, and you are probably correct. I like to think of pölsa more as a meat porridge lol.

@@roxville based on what we ended up with in the video, I think "meat porridge" is the perfect way to describe it :)
