I never heard of Haggis before and thought we were way off the tracks on this thread but after looking it up and seeing images it really is a medieval horror...

By the way you can get it in the US as long as you substitute the some of the lamb parts with certified Little Brampton witch meat.

Now that you have caused me to 'recycle' my breakfast I believe I shall drink early today...
 
Most of the English think the same way, but I rather like it (or maybe the whisky that goes with it).

Well the 3 people in my house enjoyed Haggis this Sunday, namely, me (English), my son (English also) and my girlfriend (Afro-Caribean).
Accompanied by Innis and Gunn ale (Scottish) and a wee Jura 10 year Origin single malt (Scottish). Also mashed potatoe (sorry forgot to buy the swede or rotabeger if that's how you spell it in USA) brocolli, carrots, pak chou (Chinese veg) and my own lamb gravy (seasoned with Worcester sauce - English).
Real multi-ethnic meal.

Mind you some like even more gory things, for example Tripe:eek: slimy horror.

What a fantastic meal, can I come next year, I'll bring the cock-a-leekie soup, some Morecombe Bay shrimps and Drambuie?
 
Awesome! Do we have a real Scot in the house to authenticate this haggis? :)
I know that company, the stuff they sell is pretty good,
even if they train a French chef to make haggis :eek: :mad:.
But the list of ingredients doesn't really match a true Scottish haggis,
which contains offal that's probably not allowed in USA -
I think traditionally mainly from a sheep
(heart, liver and lungs chopped up and tucked into its stomach),
though I think the one I had last week had some lamb and beef offal in it too.
Cruxlover's dinner sounds gle mhath - though purists would serve with just neeps
(which confusingly are swedes, rutubaga, rather than what the English call turnips)
and tatties. I hope the guests enjoyed it.

Back to the original idea...Countess is bored on her long ride so she sticks needles into her seamstresses breasts and drinks her blood...

LITTLE BRAMPTON BBQ

Some of the witches from the Eastwick coven were spared the hangman and packed off to Little Brampton for BBQ duty. Only the young tender ones with ample meat were selected to help feed the starving masses after a day out at the hangings. According to Fanny Haddock's "Witch Recipes" the best way to spit roast a young witch alive was to get the insertion of the skewer exactly right at the start of the preparation. Here you can see "Big" Brenda, the cousin of the butcher's wife on the far left, doing just that.

According to Fanny the pole must have a point but not too sharp and be coated with a mix of witch fat and natural coagulants. Having selected the entry point great care must be taken to avoid all major organs before the tip reappears. Her book has many diagrams to assist the beginner. It goes on to say that the secret of a good roast is to maintain a constant temperature of the fire by regular dousing with water. The witch must also be basted often with previously stored witch fat and turned regularly. The longer the witch is alive during roasting the more succulent her meat will be.

Yikes! I had no idea witch fat had so many uses. How do they collect it? :rolleyes:

the middle piglet is really upset with the view she has as she is roasted but says nothing...

Older, hanged witches were often sold for their fat content. The plumper the old witch the better. With a sharp knife remove as much skin and fat as required. Place in a large boiling pan with sufficient water to cover and bring to the boil then simmer for a few hours until all the solids have separated out. When the "rendering" appears complete filter the contents of the pan through a fine cloth into storage jars. When the liquid has cooled it will solidify into pure witch fat which had many uses.

The best crackling (scratchings) from the cut she's looking at.

Added to my recipe book. Thank you jonesygirl.
 
THE LITTLE BRAMPTON WOMENS INSTITUTE AND THE VILLAGE GREEN

Here we are outside Josh's home on Little Brampton's village green. It's a popular spot for local festivities and major events. May Day Queen, markets, hangings, birthday parties and Witch BBQs and many more. The local council backed by the powerful WI have long resisted any attempt to build on the land. Here we see two members of the WI who have volunteered their time to impale and cook live witches transported from the Eastwick hangings. A dozen should suffice the hunger of the expected crowds descending from Eastwick Hill.

The ladies of the WI wrote a song in praise of Little Brampton's village green and all that they cherish about their way of life. In modern times members of a pop group visited The Hanged Witch pub and overheard the ladies of the WI singing their song. It was copied as The Village Green Preservation Society with the same tune. If you know it you can sing along to the original lyrics which are reproduced here..
