How Traditional Haggis Is Made In Scotland | Regional Eats

Insider’s Claudia Romeo traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland to meet with James Macsween, a third-generation haggis producer who has turned his grandfather’s butcher shop into one of the most successful haggis companies in the UK. Haggis is spiced meat encased in animal intestines with salt, spices, and a few other ingredients depending on the recipe. Macsween’s haggis is made using lamb lungs, beef fat and a secret mixture of spices from a 67-year-old recipe.

    I was taught in world history class that the Scottish valued & guarded their history, culture and their traditions , with their lives.and that the tartan cloth was sacred to their lands, heritage and culture and that each distinguished tartan color represented the individual clans of the Scottish people and the kilts , tartan cloth and bagpipes were inherited and passed down the linages from father to son and that it was not only a honor to inherit such valuable family treasures they were sacred to the families and to the clans that inherited such valued family heirlooms and for anyone to buy such family heirlooms and then to wear them out in public was looked upon with shame and anger , imposters showing off stolen valor. Yet in the realms of the woke 21st century we now live . All cultures (excluding European and the United Kingdom cultures ) are protected and respected and cultural appropriation is frowned upon for every culture but for some odd reason the rules don't apply for European and the United Kingdom cultures. And we now are witnessing the loss of culture and traditions and cultural appropriations . Take Scotland for example the sacred kilt passed down through centuries of their ancestral linages and the great changes the clans brought about to Scotland , the battles fought on their lands was all in vain because in the 21st century anyone can be Scottish, anyone can wear a kilt and infact you can now get elected in Scotland based on your other the white skin tone and the woke global elite will even see to it that you are given a coat of arms , make them up a tartan color and allow them the privilege to walk around in kilts making a mockery of the Scottish ancestry and traditions. The unelected pm of Pakistan origins that also says Scotland is to wh. Ite . Isn't wearing that kilt because he feels honored or claims to be Scottish he wears it to mock you in your faces and like a trophy that Scotland has been defeated and is now a conquered land . I can't understand just how blind and brainwashed people have become that they cheer on their own demise and the conquering of their own lands . It's insane watching the west being destroyed from the inside and the woke continue to cheer on their own destruction, the loss of their own unique cultural identity, traditions, history and Christian beliefs.

    That's because the Poem is Scot's, not English. It's a completly seperate language that was spoken in Scotland and Ulster Ireland. I wouldn't expect a non native to understand Rabbie Burns's poetry. I'm Scottish myself and can speak and understand Scot's, but I don't ever use it. My native tongue was Scottish Gaelic and English, to be honest I find speaking Scot's is too much effort as it's very western germanic and a bit rough. Where as I was raised speaking Gaelic which is more mellow and Danish-esque.

    I have a Taiwanese mother and a white American father, and the food culture they grew up with is really quite different. My mom grew up with the idea that if it's on an animal and it tastes good, we'll eat it, meaning we'll eat pretty everything from the skin to eyeballs to intestines (some people eat the privates for medicinal properties). On the other hand, my dad grew up on a farm where they only eat certain bits and made the rest either into sausage or gave it to the dogs and coyotes. Really is interesting to see how the ideas of what can and cannot be eaten varies across the world.

    Actually in Romanian culture Haggis is "Drob" and is made out of lamb organs, cooked in a deep dish and covered with the animal omentum that seals the juices inside. "Toba" that was mentioned is closer to the headcheese, and is made out of porc bits and pieces stuffed in the urinary bladder. Totally different flavors, both delicious. One its a Easter , the other is a Christmas dish.

    I've been only once in Edinburgh and damn me I totally forgot to try haggis (I was there for literally one day). Next time I'll have some for sure and, as you said, I hope it's better seasoned that other British food, since I've always felt traditional British food is a little bit lacking in that sense compared to other gastronomies.

Similar things could be said for other dishes I suppose, Haggis is no different, it's just a bunch of meat, needs seasoning.

I was so surprised at how good it was and now it is one of my favourites. It does genuinely sound awful but it is really really nice. For me a good cooked breakfast is not complete without BOTH haggis and black pudding.
