.. Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 St. Andrew's Society Bangkok. There is a Scottish pub down Soi 22 across from Liberty Place. No idea if the owner would know, but worth a shot. Tinned haggis available here. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'm glad that someone from Scotland corrected me on the cow's intestine versus sheep's stomach. I don't think that an intestine would be nearly big enough and definately messy. No self respecting butcher in Scotland would sell haggis in a tin but I did find it at a souviner shop in Edinburgh. I bought it, along with the other two items to be cooked for a proper haggis meal (I forget the two other item but both are vegetables; turnips and something else). I then gave it to my cousin's husband, whose ancestery is from Scotland (I offered to buy him a kilt but he declined) but I doubt if he ate it.

The_Munchmaster Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 If you're from the US you could be forgiven for thinking that haggis is made from cow. This is because the US does not allow the import of any products, for human consumption, containing any animals lungs. Hence the traditional Scottish haggis is not available in the US. However a US company called The Caledonian Kitchen, based in Dallas, Texas, does produce a highland beef haggis which is widely available in the US.

Flashermac Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 The significant question is ... who ever thought up such a thing in the first place? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Many moons ago there was a Meat packer in Bkk that supplied Haggis during the Robbie Burns festival. Even had several varieties. I remember having some sent up to Chiang Mai one year. I would think that some specialty butcher still produces it during the season. Sorry, I can't remember who it was but was definately one of the big meat packers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
