Does "streaky" mean "uncooked"?

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

It def had a bit of crunch. It was good. Not as crispy as it would be if I had prepared it (I did not cook this).

[–] fouloleron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] canthidium@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Met Louis CK once... Funny horrible guy

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I def tasted clove and coriander seed.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] WoefKat@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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. 🤣

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

When do you cook the bacon?
