Come on all you Scotsmen back me up,Im English and I like Haggis, :D :D
-
I love haggis.
I'm not supposed to eat it (haggis eating => heart attack). But once a year, I dance with death and scoff it down. Luverly! ;D
And you celebrate by eating a sheep's organs boiled in it's stomach?
Your point being?
You eat crushed grass seed and lumps of sour milk. (bread and cheese).
The main ingredient of haggis is actually oats.
-
Something everyone should experience and enjoy
And you celebrate by eating a sheep's organs boiled in it's stomach?
A|A why this silly remark, a haggis is much better for you than a Big Mac, it's all natural for a start............
;D ;D

UGH! :o
-
Sorry but I would rather eat a very greasy burger then a sheep's organs. I would probably eat it if I didn't know what it was though.
-
Different nations have different food cultures. I've never tried haggis, but will do one day. You might not want to AA, just like I dont want to eat american cheese. But actually AA, got a question for you,
what is in a meatloaf? is it just bread and meat or what?
-
To tell you the truth I have only eaten meatloaf once, since I don't like it, but it is a common thing around here.
It is just ground beef that is in the shape of a loaf of bread, it can also be made from lamb, and pork.
Edit: Just found out it can be Ground Pork and Cornmeal.

Thanks Guys. :D ;) ;D

There is a single malt by the name of "Russell", which is made especially for my family by one of the Scottish Breweries. We consume that with haggis, assuming my mother doesn't get there first. You can sometimes buy miniature bottles of it in the Tourist Shop at Edinburgh Castle.

Looks like this!! Wasn't really interested when it was announced we would be having this for lunch one day on the "Vic 32" - infact when it was being served I only had a tablespoonful. However when I tasted it I went back for a bigger helping! It tasted just like a savoury mince (without a gravy). We had had the full ceremony of addressing the Haggis (without the pipes unfortunately) just before this pic. So I can recommend the butchers at the locks at Fort Augustus on the Caledonian Canal for their Haggis! (And yes I would get it again if in the area.)

Look weary good that ;) hungry now

Hi Jim.
Most Russells are related, apparently. My ancestors were clustered around Bedfordshire, Southampton (the origin of us all) and Kent. But we also have known cousins in Scotland.
I've only ever seen the miniatures on sale in Scotland. However, there is a rye whiskey made by Russells in the USA:

Don't forget that the largest Kiltmaker in the world is Hector Russell!

Do you have a geni family tree or something Terry? would be interesting to see how large it is

My maternal Grandmother was a Russell, her father, Herbert Samuel Russell was a Master Cooper and Stave Trader!

My lot were busy being Dukes of Bedford (like Dukes of Hazard but using horses). Don't think they went in for the slavery bit, though.
But they did like haggis!

Staves (as in barrels) not Slaves!!

I know, just kidding! ;D

There is a "Book of Russells", that lists all known members of the Russell tribe. It's about 10 years old now. It has about 140,000 familes listed.
But my branch is easy to trace. Just get hold of the geneaological tree of the Duke of Bedford. The Duke before last (who only died a few years ago) was John Russell. He was my Great Uncle.
Many of them liked haggis!
Family crest attached.
Family motto is the Latin: Che Sera Sera (Whatever will be, will be).

No, the song is from our motto, which goes back to around 800 AD perhaps more. Not many pop records then.
-
ah ok
-
Family motto is the Latin: Che Sera Sera (Whatever will be, will be). Isn't that from a old song?
Yeah, a very well known one too, with hundreds, no thousands of versions and variations recorded by many many singers over time.. though as I remember that song most commonly features the spanish version 'que sera sera', rather than the italian version, 'che sara sara.
Though in the Marlow play 'the tragical history of Dr. Faustus' (shakespear era), the 'spanishnized' version Che Sera Sera was used and it became quite popular, mostly because of that play.
I cannot find it in my latin phrase book though.. I think it's not actually latin in origin as such.
So I don't think it was actually a common latin phrase back in the days of Rome.. It was polularized by this play by Marlow amongst other use, that play has many many latin quotes in it.. but most of them were not authentic latin (meaning from Roman times) quotes, but medieval quotes and sayings, translated into latin, which was spoken a lot in europe in those days in the higher echelons of society. The upper class could often speak latin quite well, and with their own language being the only other one they spoke, latin was the English of those days, a 'worldwide language', with which they could communicate in Europe, amonst each other.
Hence there have been many contemporary sayings that got translated into latin, not always perfectly, since it was often done by non native speakers... They would just take a 'local' saying, if they'd use it in a play (the TV of those days) and translate it to latin, so that the important parts would stay understandable, after being performed in other countries, in other languages aswell.. the key parts, would be latin, and thus the plot was kept intact. :)
