Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

Pokeweed again. I knew it was time to stop when I dropped my knife almost immediately after finally finding it in the pokeweed heap where I'd accidentally tossed it.
The Camillus hawksbill got just enough use to determine that it isn't the shape for pokeweed. I'll try it on shrubs soon. Still trying to get the knack for them.

I like haggis, but 70% of the haggis sold by MacSween's, the biggest Scottish producer, are their vegetarian variety. I put this down to some people being squeamish about offal rather than them being vegetarian. The other issue has been the fact that haggis traditionally contains lungs, which are not considered fit for human consumption in some countries (eg Canada), but MacSween's have now produced a lung-free version! :D Having said that, I've had MacSween's vegetarian haggis many times, and it's actually pretty good, tasting mainly of oats and spices. I know some real Rob Roy types who actually prefer it! :D

Use to have it for school lunches in Anstruther, Jack. Heck I can get the real deal in Bakersfield of all places, however that's very interesting. So many Americans would turn up their nose at haggis and then throw a hot dog on the grill or around here mix in some chorizo with their eggs. Simply, had not head of vegetarian haggis. Actually black pudding is a harder sell.

That interesting comparison had never occurred to me.

Fantastic! :) By coincidence, I saw a product labelled 'Vegetarian Black Pudding' the other week, I just can't imagine what it contained! :D :thumbsup:

Neither me... LOL I remember the first time my son had british black pudding for breakfast (in Skipton, Yorkshire) and he asked me "is this made with old tyres?"o_O

LOL! :D I haven't eaten it for years here. Actually the best black pudding I ever had was French. I used to fry it in bacon fat with some diced apple. Sounds an odd combination, but it really worked :thumbsup:
