Scottish Coup D'etat Begins

You can put rubber tire/tyre chips in empanadas, but that doesn't make it good.

I wasn't a big eater of haggis when I worked in Scotland for a few months back in '98, but I was introduced to it by one a drill ship in the North Sea catered by a Scottish company. I found it to be fairly tasty and didn't shy away from it. I've never understood, since I'd tried it, what all the revulsion was about. Yeah, I don't go to the local store and buy sheep lungs for dinner (I find the sight quite unnerving, actually, even though what I see here are cow lungs - I think, I've never actually looked that closely). I've eaten yummy roasted chicken hearts in Brasil and Paraguay. Liver is good stuff!

But then again, I'm a lover of a good morcilla which many people seem to feel physically revolted by.

I say, bring it on! Let haggis make its entry into Argentine cuisine brought on by local politics

This will take some very careful negotiating with the Sheep Union (CGT). Imagine the panic in the fields when scores of wild-eyed, fork-wielding haggis fanatics descend on them yelling "With neeps and tatties!!!" Suggestion: introduce haggis gradually, maybe limiting it to Palermo SoHo for the first six months then let it spread gradually to Recoleta, Caballito, etc., over a couple of years.

Politicians should take heed: do you want to be blamed for the 2016 Haggis Riots?

As a matter of fact, Scottish "coup d'etat" goes way back. As far back as 1825, 2015 being the 190th anniversary of the arrival of first Scottish Settlers.
You can join in the celebrations this Sunday, Nov 29, in Chascomús.

As far as I know, no haggis on the menu, looks like it has been replaced by empanadas.

Problem is all those sheep in patagonia don't seem to make it up the coast to here. The few that do are very expensive and come without their guts.

You've got to make friends with a local.

Every time a group of us go out to my friend's farm 3 hours from here, they slaughter a sheep the night before or the morning of.
