I watch international cooking programs and every single time, I am always amazed by the mouth-watering presentations of the recipes. But, there is one dish that I find weird. The chef said it is his favorite
Scottish dish. It is made of sheep entrails and until now, I cannot imagine myself savoring such dish.
The
native dish is called Haggis. Truly, foreigners will find it eerie and become horrified with the facts about its ingredients. To absolutely enjoy the dish, I recommend first time tasters to prepare whisky because it surely will not befriend the taste buds.
As far as I could remember the ingredients for Haggis are the following:
-1 of the following sheep entrails: lung, liver, stomach, and heart
-half pound of suet
-a cup of ground oatmeal
-finely chopped onions
-salt
-pepper
-nutmeg
-a cup of stock
It is important to remember that the sheep entrails are hard to find and illegal to sale for some countries. Anyhow, before cooking, they should be pre-soaked. After boiling it for half an hour, they are chopped or grated. The oatmeal must be toasted with the other ingredients and stuffed inside the stomach. After boiling it for three hours, the dish is ready for serving. It appears like a sausage, but real strange-looking. Also the dish is perfect for preparing
delicious gourmet food. However, I just learned that cooking Haggis is one of the best ways to eat sheep.
