Flavour and type??? :D

I would say salt and vinegar..... but seems to me they’re all wanting to be all fancy and the like so better make it something fancy like saffron and sage or lentil chips !!! :P 

Hmmmm I wonder if they make Kale flavoured potato chips...... ?

Your all lacking that little bit of sophistication we've come to expect from Bleak City and it's inhabitants.

Joz would throw open the door and dust the welcome mat off if these chips(crisps) were on offer I'm sure.

They became a must have while trawling the bars of Edinburgh recently.

Have become a bit of an interested taster of Haggis, perhaps @evil c or the puller of pork @Tubularbells could bring some round to chez Joz. It's not the horror it's made out to be.

@evil c  have you had proper Haggis?

 

I never had and I swore I'd never try until  I was instructed about it's proper preparation and cooking and indeed presentation by a friendly guide in a fantastic institution in Edinburgh. 

 It ends up having a loose sausage style consistency and when you knock back a couple of wee drams before hand and then listen to the proper introduction(I/we did) it becomes a real ritual and we were surprised at just how tasty it actually is.

 

So once we had some single malt in our glasses our guide intoned:

 

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it,

But we hae meat and we can eat,

And sae the Lord be thankit.

 

The haggis's arrived in front of us with some mashed spud and a few singular veg but before we could start we had to listen to the 'Address to a Haggis' by Robbie Burns.

 

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, 
Great chieftain o' the pudding-race! 
Aboon them a' ye tak your place, 
Painch, tripe, or thairm : 
Weel are ye wordy o'a grace 
As lang's my arm. 

The groaning trencher there ye fill, 
Your hurdies like a distant hill, 
Your pin wad help to mend a mill 
In time o'need, 
While thro' your pores the dews distil 
Like amber bead. 

His knife see rustic Labour dight, 
An' cut you up wi' ready sleight, 
Trenching your gushing entrails bright, 
Like ony ditch; 
And then, O what a glorious sight, 
Warm-reekin', rich! 

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive: 
Deil tak the hindmost! on they drive, 
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve 
Are bent like drums; 
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive, 
Bethankit! hums. 

Is there that owre his French ragout 
Or olio that wad staw a sow, 
Or fricassee wad make her spew 
Wi' perfect sconner, 
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view 
On sic a dinner? 

Poor devil! see him owre his trash, 
As feckless as wither'd rash, 
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash; 
His nieve a nit; 
Thro' bloody flood or field to dash, 
O how unfit! 

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, 
The trembling earth resounds his tread. 
Clap in his walie nieve a blade, 
He'll mak it whissle; 
An' legs an' arms, an' heads will sned, 
Like taps o' thrissle. 

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, 
And dish them out their bill o' fare, 
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware 
That jaups in luggies; 
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer 
Gie her a haggis! 

 

 

 

If your at all interested then we were told that this a very good guide to making one: >>> Haggis for beginners
