In Scottish Bardesque cuisine, it is acceptable to substitute the curly parsley for a sprig of thistle.

And you're better off eating the thistle.

Trout Recreant · 04-22-2009, 04:23 PM

That's not a garnish, that's salad. You showed us a picture of Haggis Salad! While I might be convinced to try a real haggis if it were available around here, just for the sheer novelty of it and so I could add it to my list of things I have done and immediately regretted, the fact that someone sells canned haggis leaves me speechless.

Canned haggis. What do you do with it? Mix it with mayo and make a haggis salad sandwich? Maybe an open faced haggis melt with a bowl of tomato soup on the side?

That's just messed up.

This may sound odd, but I know a guy who makes a wicked haggis. He uses a medieval recipe which includes nutmeg and it's actually delicious. If you think of it as a sausage, I think it's more mentally edible.

Oh yeah that's tongue all right, probably beef tongue. (Think about how far back in your mouth your tongue is rooted, and how long a steer's head is, and you'll understand why the thing is so damn long.) My grandmother used to eat tongue and I always went totally

when I saw it at the deli counter. You can see the taste buds! And then they slice it!

I just want to say that every time I see this thread pop up in New Posts I avoid it because it is possibly the most depressing thing I have ever seen.

But still you came!

Here - have some haggis with a side of Unrecognizable Jello Salad.

I give you cucumber abuse with the obligatory olive and parsley garnish.

Oh, and some sort of congealed blood as the centerpiece.

It's like it's staring at me. It's freaking me out. I keep waiting for the olives to blink. Anything that sounds like "ass pick" has to be bad.

My brother and I can reduce eachother to helpless fits of laughter with that "ass pick" observation - it's been a standard of ours for years. There's a little evocative hand gesture that goes along with it - we don't even need to speak the words any more.

Cucumber Abuse...

As evil as the item itself is, I am doubly frightened that it comes from a recipe collection titled "Our Rich Heritage"

Yes, I want to carry on the traditions of my forbears and pass on to my children the ancient and respected practice of making my guests sick before they even sit down to table.

The "laugh button" just ain't enough.

Well, it does say "Do a head dishes" doesn't it?

**Bard Jameson** · 04-23-2009, 02:34 PM

Imagine if we could watch it wobble on the plate! The, um, frosting would be even more, um...suggestive.

Nothing says "sit down and dig in" more than the top half of a baby's head on avocado-green serving ware.

Unlike me. For some reason I can not explain, when I see this thread pop-up in the iSpy, I MUST LOOK.

I don't even stop to look at traffic accidents,
unless they need my help of course.

You know what's really crazy? I would actually try some of this stuff. Gourmet I'm not. Food is food.

**Carter-Madhu** · 04-23-2009, 06:28 PM

I just tried to re-read this thread from the beginning and the nostalgia-trip was a delight. I had forgotten that Bard initially resisted the power of the Bardesque before finally embracing that great, terrible force to which he had given life.

Ennyhoo, I read the thread, I laughed, I cried, I retched, and I made it as far as page 12, whereupon this gem...

Carry on up the Bardesque!
