The Funniest Canadian Joke.

Biscuits and gravey is just what it says it is... biscuits (fluffy biscuits, not cracker-like biscuits) with "country-style" gravey poured on top.

Haggis... stuffed sheep intestines? Or is it cow intestine stuffed with sheep meat? No wait... its sheep stomach stuffed with beef... I think...

I'm prejudiced about haggis. I don't want to try it; just hearing the description of it is enough.

Well of course if you hear Fyron's totaly inacurate description of it. Oh sure there is a stomach thing in there but you don't eat that part. It's lovely stuff, really!

[Fyron]

Well obviously you aren't taking the bait, so let me try another way.... what exactly is haggis?

Crums now you are testing me. I'd have to look it up to be sure but I think it is sheeps liver, heart (maybe some lung ) barley (or oats) various spices stuffed in a stomach sac. Mmmm now that's good eating.

Edit: Wow after a brief net search I had no idea there were so many haggis recipies. I just get it from the local scottish butcher. (which if my location is a good example occur about once per 1 million city population on this side of the Atlantic)

And if I am not mistaken, it is boiled.

Fyron, don't you remember the first Highlander movie ?

Sean Connery: "What did you call me ?"
MacLeod: "I called you a haggis."
SC: "What is a haggis ?"
McL: "Sheep's heart, liver and kidneys, with oats, stuffed into a sheep's stomach."
SC: "How revolting! And what do you do with it ?"
McL, exasperated: "WE EAT IT !!!"
