omg have you ever tried those weird spicy chips they sell at british pubs 🍟👀 i swear they're like a national pastime or something but anyway back to haggis my cousin's wife is from scotland and she makes this amazing haggis soup that's basically just mashed potatoes with some sausage and veggies mixed in lol sounds weird but trust me it's fire 💪
 
🤔 I think its cool how haggis is getting more mainstream, especially with all the fancy restaurants serving it up. I mean, who doesn't love a good challenge when it comes to trying new foods? 🍴 And yay for making traditional dishes more accessible! £6 a kilo is like, a great price point too. It's awesome that haggis is being adopted by different communities and people are getting creative with recipes. I'm loving the veggie version of haggis pakora - it sounds amazing! 🌱
 
OMG, have you guys tried haggis lately? 🤤 I mean, it's so underrated! Not only is it delicious (yes, really!), but it's also super versatile - can be used in soups, as a crouton topping... game on! 😂 And yeah, the fact that fine dining restaurants are now serving it is no surprise, I guess. Who doesn't love a good challenge to their taste buds? 💁‍♀️ Plus, I'm loving how haggis has become a cultural icon - who knew it'd become a staple in Scotland's culinary scene and even attract some Scottish-ethnic minority crowds? 🎉 The synthetic casing thing is interesting too... seems like progress? 🤖
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s kinda wild how haggis has become this thing people are into outside of Scotland now 🤯. Like, I get why fine dining restaurants would want to put it on the menu – it's got a unique flavor profile that can add some excitement to a dish. But at the same time, I'm curious about all these synthetic casings being used instead of animal stomachs... isn't that gonna affect the texture or something? 🤔 And have you guys tried haggis pakora? Sounds like an interesting twist on traditional haggis 😊
 
🤔 i think its cool how haggis has become more mainstream, but also how its being reimagined for different cultures... like haggis pakora is fire 🍴 and its awesome that scottish cuisine is becoming more accessible to people from other backgrounds 👥 what's interesting too is the shift away from using animal stomachs in production - it just shows how our attitudes towards food are changing 🌱
 
lol i remember when i was saying that traditional scottish food is on the rise but nobody was paying attention 🤣 now haggis is everywhere even in fine dining restaurants 👌 what's crazy is how synthetic casings are making it more accessible, like who needs stomach anyway? 🙄 and yeah £6 per kilo is kinda cheap if you ask me, scottish cuisine is fire 💪 but i do wish they'd create some veggie alternatives, haggis pakora sounds amazing 🤤
 
omg I'm so glad they're using synthetic casings now lol I mean I love traditional haggis and all but it's just so bloody inconvenient having to deal with actual animal stomachs, you know? 🤯 And the prices are still super reasonable, £6 a kilo is like nothing! I had haggis at this fancy restaurant once and it was literally the best thing I've ever tasted, I'm not even kidding. They served it as this stuffin for a chicken and it just melted in my mouth... anyway, can't wait to try making some haggis pakora now 😂🍴
 
I gotta say, I'm loving the idea of synthetic casings replacing animal stomachs for haggis - it's all about progress right? 🤖 But seriously, it's kinda awesome that haggis has become a staple in Scottish cuisine, and even more so that it's being adopted by different cultures. The fact that there's now a vegetarian version like haggis pakora is a win-win for everyone! 💚 I can imagine how spicy it must be to use as a crouton-borne garnish... but hey, who am I to judge? 😂 It just goes to show that food can bring people together, even across cultures and traditions. And £6 per kilogram in Scotland is actually pretty affordable, so more people should give haggis a try! 👍
 
the idea that a traditional dish like haggis can become so popular globally is really interesting 🤔... i mean, what does it say about our society that we're willing to adopt something that's literally the internal organs of an animal? doesn't that raise some questions about our relationship with food and the way we consume others?
 
I'm so down for haggis lately 🤤 it's crazy how something that's basically just sheep organs and spices can be this popular worldwide I mean, who knew it could be used as a stuffing or crouton in soups? 🍲🥗 And yay for the veggie version, haggis pakora sounds delicious! 👌 The fact that it's now more convenient with synthetic casings is also a win. Maybe one day we'll see it on menus outside of Scotland too 🤞
 
I love how haggis is becoming more mainstream 🤩! Who knew it could be so versatile? Using synthetic casings instead of animal stomachs is definitely a game-changer, especially for people who don't want to deal with the hassle of traditional production methods 🙌. And I'm excited to see haggis pakora popping up in restaurants - it's great that the dish can appeal to different tastes and cultures. It just goes to show that food can bring people together and transcend borders. The fact that it's still affordable at £6/kg is a bonus too! A good meal doesn't have to break the bank 😊.
 
OH MY GOSH, I'M LIKE SO EXCITED THAT HAGGIS IS GETTING THE Recognition IT DESERVES!!! I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T LOVE A GOOD PLATE OF TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH FOOD?! 🍴👏 AND I LOVED FINDING OUT THAT IT'S NOT JUST FOR SCOTLAND ANYMORE - FINE DINING RESTAURANTS ARE GETTING IN ON THE ACTION TOO! 💼💪 AND HAVE YOU EVER TRIED HAGGIS PAKORA? IT'S LIKE, THIS AMAZING VEGETARIAN VERSION OF HAGGIS THAT'S TO DIE FOR!!! 🤩👍
 
I don’t usually comment but I gotta say... how cool is it that haggis has become so popular worldwide? Like, who would have thought that this stuff made from sheep's insides would be on menus in fancy restaurants in Tokyo or NYC 🤯. And the fact that it's still affordable for everyday people in Scotland is just amazing - £6 a kilo is like, super cheap! 😂 I've tried haggis before and it was pretty meh, but now I'm curious to try all these different versions like haggis pakora 🌯. Maybe I'll even start experimenting with it myself... who knows? 💡
 
I'm not sure why haggis is having a moment 🤷‍♀️... I mean, it's definitely an acquired taste 😂. As a parent, I've served it at family gatherings before, but only for the adventurous eaters in my fam 👀. The thought of eating sheep's organs doesn't exactly thrill me 😝. But hey, if people want to pay £6 for a kilo of haggis, who am I to judge? 💸 It's nice to see Scotland's cuisine getting more love globally 🌎. Maybe one day my kids will be adventurous enough to try it... but I'll believe that when they're willing to eat liver and onions without complaining 😂!
