I love haggis. At school once a month they gave us this scrumptious serving of greasy haggis that was just fantastic. Most people would get school dinners on a haggis day just because it was the best meal they could make.

At some point, an association was formed in my head between this thread and the "Fart Smells" thread.
And as for Mr. Dragosani, as I noted in the "London Underground announcements" thread, again I notice this rather unusual familiarity that the good people of the British Isles have with the finer workings of sheep. We good Americans just aren't as familiar with these particulars...

I mean, I just notice a number of the good people of the UK seem to have an unusually detailed knowledge of how fast sheep can run away from a threat of some sort is all... I have no idea how fast a pig runs.

You ever been to a ranch? I take it alot of people go to a rodeo and would have at least minimal knowledge of a cow/bull's behavoiral patterns?
You do you just go there for the rhinestones?

Neon, really, most Americans I know, including me, have never been to a rodeo. In fact, I don't know much about farm animals. I live in New York.
And I *KNOW* you, Mr. Brother Gay Boy, aren't knocking rhinestones...

I aint knocking rhinestones at all... I was just wonder if we had a mutual affinity for sequins and the like....

shouldn't we be talking about innards and offal as national cuisine? "I used to want to change the world, now I just wanna leave the room with a little dignity..." - Lotus Weinstock

1) Neither of us is damned straight and 2) I can't compete with you on either sheep or sequin-loving.
3) Or on offal and innards loving.

I'm a pediatrician, not a surgeon. In my view, the innards should stay INSIDE and safely out of view.

Americans arnt very adventuerouse with food are they? Thats the impression I get when they turn theire noses up at tripe, or pickled cabbage, jelly'd eels, or something else unusually englishy.
You know looking at that list, ignorent english people allways knock the french for eating anything that moves (horses, snails) but we eat some weird stuff too like pigs trotters, black pudding (congeled pigs blood, flour, an and union or two mixed in) and all sorts. We're worse arnt we?

Yanno, come to New York. There's chinese, japanese, indian, and thai restaurants everywhere you look. And to add to that, ethopian, afthani, caribbean, etc.
It's not that we aren't adventurous...we just know that (barring Fish and Chips) English food sucks. Hell, even the English realize it! Why has Indian replaced your own cuisine as the British national cuisine, hmm?

It's not really that, it's just that Pumpkins aren't as widely available over here except around halloween (bloody typical). The rest of the year we make do with butternut squash. Which itself is delicious...

A local delicacy from south wales is cockles and Laverbread. Laver is a type of seaweed. fry them in a pan with streaky bacon and serve with fried eggs or scrambled eggs and vinegar. delicious!
