>That sounds a LOT like haggis, except the Scots make it from sheep and like to stuff it all into a pigs stomach with the veins still showing on the outside, lead it into the dining room preceeded my a man playing the bagpipes (which sounds a lot like the sheep having its stomach removed, come to think of it) and then address a poem to it, follwed by stabbing it with a short dagger (which is probably burnt afterwards, just in case). For some reason it is then eaten. No doubt this explains a lot about the Scottish accent: you'd speak like that if you'd had that for breakfast.

Have you ever had any? What's the taste like? Chorizo is quite tasty if you like Mexican type foodstuffs.
