I have seen it served as an appetizer on oatcakes or melba toast, sliced for breakfast, or stuffed in chicken breast as a main course - I've had it about a dozen or so times, and only once did I not like it (dry and bland). usually it's spicy and tasty.

<<Ru [sic] actually being serious?>>
I am always deadly serious in my posts.

I have closely read and parsed all of your contributions to this thread and have come to the conclusion that the Scotch do not like being called Scotch.

Sorry to top this old post, but a friend recently recorded one of his comedy bits on the subject, which he posted on YouTube. I thought it worth sending on to all you Haggis lovers.
Or haters.

Hi, hopingtotravel, here is one receipe for Scotch eggs. This receipe calls for baking in the oven rather than the traditional way of cooking them in a deep fryer, so they are less greasy.

In a way the receipe reminds me of my daughter's late Roman mother-in-law's receipe for meatloaf as she put hard boiled eggs in her meatloaf before baking it.
CW, what DID you say about Scotch eggs, lol. Well don't repeat, we sure don't want you to get banned again.

I also meant to say haggis can be purchased from the Scottish Pie Co. in Dixon, CA just 15 minutes up the freeway from where I live. People from around the SF/Bay Area will order them and drive up on our busy I-80 freeway to pick them up so I assume for those that like haggis they are made properly. I shudder to think about them. Yes, just the thought of haggis makes me feel quesy too.

<i>they are made properly</i>
Only if one assumes that lungs are not necessary in the traditional recipe and that the casing does not need to be a sheep's stomach. I believe that neither item can be sold for human consumption.

I don't know nor care, Michael. I wouldn't consider taking even a bite of a haggie. People from Scotland and England that now live within driving distant of Dixon have posted over the years the haggis are wonderful and taste like they did when they lived in Scotland or England.

Scotch eggs are wondrous. The only other things that are needed for the perfect British picnic are soggy ham and tomato sandwiches, lashings of ginger beer, and wasps. And Kraft Dairy Milk chocolate turning liquid in the heat.

How interesting, hopingtotravel! Did you start putting boiled eggs in your meatloaf due to some receipe you read, or did your mother do the same or was that your idea? I had never heard of the receipe until my Roman son-in-law came here to CA and he from time to time has commented on his mother's meatloaf with the boiled eggs. I keep meaning to do so but I never remember.
