Does "streaky" mean "uncooked"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tasted pretty good to me. Nice combination of chew and crunch.

[–] lingh0e 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Bro, you need to define the word "crunch" because ... NONE of that looks like it has even the slightest bit of crunch.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Crunchy rind, chewy meat probably. Op probably enjoys their bacon tasting like meat rather that crunchy fire.

In other parts of the world, bacon doesn't have to be crunchy at all. But then it is also vastly better there, too.

What, does that look uncooked to you? Bizarre

My arteries have hardened threefold looking at this

I'm pretty sure my life span was shortened a bit.

You take all of a sheep's organs, and put them in it's own stomach, and boil it.

What's shown looks more like black pudding, though it could be a ground haggis sausage. Black pudding is a blood sausage using the pigs blood and binders like barley.

If that doesn't make you hungry, I dunno what will.

Nothing is a more visceral depiction of mankind's dominance over our environment than stuffing a creature inside itself and cooking it.

Lol, There was a Louis CK bit years ago where he talked about coming across an outdoor market and a bucket of duck vaginas and he had the same sentiment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Met Louis CK once... Funny horrible guy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They also had black pudding (tried that before and it's pretty tasty). This was similar. I don't know if it was authentic, but it was quite tasty.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It probably is. A closer look it seems like it's a ground haggis filling. Good stuff.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

OK, cool! Very rich and a bit offal-y (which I enjoy). And well spiced. I'm a fan.

I def tasted clove and coriander seed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Why do you think the brits conquered the world? If you had to eat un-spiced haggis you'd probably want to do a little slavery and a touch of plunder.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That looks like the haggis we get here in Glasgow.

It's always looked like that. You mostly see the texture of the oats instead of the pluck.

I highly recommend veggie haggis though. Seriously, it's good food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What goes into veggie haggis? I'd definitely try it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

According to McSween's website, their haggis contains:

Oats, Water, Vegetable Margarine (Palm Oil, Rapeseed Oil, Water, Salt, Emulsifier (E471), Flavouring), Black Kidney Beans (10%), Carrot (5%), Swede (5%), Mushrooms, Red Split Lentils (5%), Rehydrated Onions, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Salt, Ground Spices.

I assume whole organ haggis has gone out of fashion in most places in favour of the ground sort?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what you mean by "whole organ" haggis. I haven't seen anything different to what I've described in the last 50 years.

The stuff we have still has pluck... The offal, but it's always minced.

Can you find a picture of it? I'd be really interested in seeing if I can get hold of some to try.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I got my offal origins mixed up, the dish I was thinking of is a Namibian tribal food that uses the intact organs stuffed into the stomach. I'd filed it away under haggis in my head.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Basically offal cooked in a sheep's stomach.

And that's putting it nicely lol 😂🤢

The Irish version of this replaces the haggis with blood sausage 🤢 and the streaky bacon with the much tastier (in my opinion) rasher type bacon.

But besides the bacon the UK and Ireland are a great place for becoming vegan. 🤣

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

When do you cook the bacon?

It's cool. I still get to eat lots of tasty things.
