Back to Saint's for another round of haggis. Earlier entry: September 13.
From Scotland: fried haggis balls. A brilliant offal-based snack, brimming with rich, meaty flavor. Who knew that sheep lungs could be tastier than pork liver?
Speaking of pork. ... from Ireland: succulent sausages with colcannon, a simple but satisfying blend of mashed potatoes & cabbage.
And from the former British colony of Malaysia: Malaccan pork satay. Yay!
Saint's be praised, booze is abundant here, including lots of wine. Beringer California White Zinfandel & Stone Cellars Merlot.
Nice names: Mount Gay rum & Polish Zubrowka Bison Grass vodka.

Love haggis! There's nothing offputting about that wonderful dish. I think they sell haggis in the supermarkets here too, and I'm dying to buy some and add it to my ummm...salads. :-D
ReplyDeleteLemongrass: oooo, the thought of what ingredients to combine in a haggis salad fills me with excitement! Am thinking haggis + foie gras terrine + avocado + balsamic dressing! :D
ReplyDeleteWhich part of it is a salad, Sean? :-P
ReplyDeleteLemongrass: avocado = greens, balsamic = dressing. Can also sprinkle a little parsley if you must :D
ReplyDeletewow, I think the Hagiis balls is indeed a brilliant snack. Would love to have some now too!
ReplyDeleteeiling: heheh, yeah, it'd actually be suitable at all times of the day ... for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper! :D
ReplyDeleteThe sausage looks HUGE! And I can't seem to get my eyes away from those delicious pork satay! :)
ReplyDeleteI should compile all your salad suggestions to date. You've been pretty creative so far. When's the book coming out?
ReplyDeletesuch strange names for the alcohol!
ReplyDeleteiamthewitch: yeah, i wish more pubs would offer pork satay! it's such an addictive snack! smoky and savory :D
ReplyDeletelemongrass: not sure when, but there will be a salad called 'lyrical lemongrass.' it will contain lima beans, lentils, leeks, lettuce & lemongrass stalks in a lime dressing :D
michelle: i sometimes order cocktails and booze just based on their names, heheh :D
But beans make you fart! *wail*
ReplyDeletelemongrass: aha, another reason why the salad would be suitable to be named after you! :D
ReplyDeleteGirls don't fart, darling.
ReplyDeletelemongrass: but that's not what your hubby tells people :D
ReplyDeleteomg, my hubby said the same abt u too!
ReplyDeletelemongrass: bluff. he's never indicated anything like that. actually he said i smell sweet. like fresh strawberries :D
ReplyDeletehe's allergic to strawberries.
ReplyDeletelemongrass: he cannot have it, so he craves it :D
ReplyDeleteLol to LL's comments :P

ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: hope your hubby likes the scent of strawberries, heheh =)
ReplyDeleteXjion: yeah, it reminds me of the pork satay in my hometown of malacca :D

ReplyDelete..now, what's still missing?
We got Irish/Croatian/Spanish/bulgarian - (PG)/Swiss..
Rebecca: heheh, we're missing Icelandic cuisine! But yeah, it's nice that we're getting more variety, and most of it isn't really too expensive either! :D
ReplyDeletehow come your haggis came in balls? mine came all mashed up. still very yummy but different.
ReplyDeleteIvan: oh yeah, they serve the haggis in two different ways here, depending on how you order it. Yeah, it's really tasty. Wish more outlets offered it! :D
