Haggis tastes more of organ meats than most sausages, which isn't really my favorite flavor. But it's not nasty, like one would reasonably assume. (Of course, it's possible I'm the only person in the world who gives haggis an "eh", since everyone else seems to be Whoooo or Ewwwww about it.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It could be my offal objection is texture rather than flavor and that's why I liked the haggis.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
brenda, it's the smell. I can't get past the smell. It smells like -well, like steamed innards.
I like patê. I do a wicked sauteed chicken liver with mushroom and spinach in roasted garlic sauce. I can even eat steak and kidney pie, if it's properly done.
But I can't do haggis. It just smells - wrong.
So very very wrong.

It's funny, because I'm very easily squicked by meat in general, but haggis totally isn't squicky. To me, it's like minced meat, but actually less squicky. And spicier and more oaty. And generally a surprisingly yummy (for me) thing. I also like sushi, and was startled to discover that eel sushi is very much yummier than I would have supposed.

move out and draw fire
Eel sushi is da bomb.
But I tend to like smoked sushi in general. Not a huge fan of the raw stuff. And MAYONAISSE DOES NOT BELONG ON SUSHI.
deb, I wanted to make the chicken liver recipe you submitted to the cookbook, but alas. No chicken livers, no Marsala. Some days the butcher has beef liver, but never chicken. What's up with that?

My F2F swag arrived today!!!

Wordy McWord.
...so, assuming that the gods smile upon me and I get to come to the F2F, is there any way that I might be able to get hold of vids-on-disk? 'Cause I'm on dialup, and although I have a number of vids, it does take most of eternity to download them.
Just a random thought. Not important. Just wondering, as watching-the-vids is something I'm very excited about.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Haggis is good!
I will cheerfully take everyone out to the beach, and to the old Sutro Baths.
And she's good at it too!

Our wings are not tired.
Ick on the Haggis. I won't touch sausage either. Yuck. I erase these nasty thoughts with visions of strawberries.
Cafe Press sent a $5 coupon after my order was processed for a new order of $35 placed by the 27th. Give me a shout if ya want it.

I never doubted it for a minute.
Because I personally would've flown over there and stuffed Fay into carry-on luggage if necessary.
In other words, FUCK YEAH!!!
