    great! bears have eaten haggis a few times, by the way

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow, how did I miss this! Thoroughly enjoyed the video, btw
    I have never tried haggis - my problem is that I am not adventurous when it comes to food (an observation made by a former business partner, who used to take me and my coworkers to various restaurants when we were visiting in San Francisco).
    If you are going through hell - keep going

    a big surprise for bears! I thought most, if not all, Russians were eager to try anything in this life. Especially food. (No, especially drinks).

    I ate haggis in Edinburgh. Remember the fried meat pies (жареные пирожки с мясом) they used to sell on the street for 10 kop.? (probably you're too young to remember...) Well, they tasted remarkably like haggis.

    Hmm, does that make me someone other than Russian? I am open to suggestions.

    I do remember those meat pies - my mom would never let me eat them, and I know that a popular rumour was that there was cat (kitten) meat in those pies Now that you mention that they tasted very similar to haggis, I think I know what those pies contained.
    I still cannot make myself buy meat pies anywhere, except a couple of bakeries/cafes.

    Yes. In other words, "с кошачком". I've eaten tons of them, they were the most nourishing of the cheapest...
