Veggie Haggis (was: Sufganiot)

[Jim Ferer]

QueerAsJohn:" Actually, both meatatarian and vegetarian haggis are 
quite nice...Although I can see where the "wrapped in a sheep's
stomach" thing squicks people."

Squicks. I like that word. You know without being told what it means.

Anyway, haggis is not the half of it.  For those who read Patrick 
O'Brian's novels, there was a cookbook entitled "Of Lobscouse and 
Spotted Dog" detailing some of the stuff eaten in that period, 
especially in the Royal Navy 'when the ships were made of wood and 
the men were made of iron.'  Some of the stuff is so extravagantly 
disgusting that it would squick an oppossum.  There's a recipe for 'A 
ROASTED LAMB WITH A PUDDING OF BRIGHT YELLOW RICE IN ITS BELLY,' and 
a selection of recipes for rat (a delicacy in the midshipmen's berth).

the puddings, most of which contain pounds of suet in their makeup, 
include Spotted Dick and Boiled Baby.

Tastes do change.
