Inkandtatts’ Inner Thoughts (Random Comments #715)

Shepherd's pie is made with lamb mince and it's a meat sauce made with the mince and veggies that's topped with mashed potatoes covered with a generous layer of grated cheese and then browned under a grill. It isn't mince over mash and veggies, that's just wrong.

Cottage pie is made with beef mince in the same way.

Haggis is sheep offal finely chopped and mixed with oatmeal, suet, herbs and seasoning and stuffed into a sheep's stomach (pluck). Served with neeps (Swedish turnips) and tatties mashed together with butter, milk and seasoning. Food of the gods.

Black pudding stems from days when people couldn't afford to waste any of an animal. It used to be made when there was no meat available by bleeding your milk cow into a bowl with flour, fat, oatmeal and seasoning in it and then stopping the bleed so that the cow wasn't harmed. Usually stuffed into intestine and boiled. A quick meal and very nutritious. It's made with pigs blood these days and it's delicious. Treat yourself to some Stornaway black pudding.

America is a bit different , I would say thank God there is no haggis here but we have chitterlings which is pig poop.
We do not eat much lamb here. We make Shepherd's pie almost the same way except it is usually hamburger meat.
We use mince in referring to mincemeat pies. They were a horrid mix of dried fruits and suet served baked in a pie.
@-Luka how you survived that food I never will know. If I visited anywhere in the UK or Ireland there is always fish and chips except we use KETCHUP for the fries and tartar for the fish.

You can think of haggis as a fancy kind of sausage (apart from being a pudding because it's boiled). If you get the opportunity, try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

We call minced meat here mince. Mincemeat is dried fruits with suet and sugar and is used to make the utterly delicious mince pies usually at Christmas time.

Chitterlins? Fried intestines lol. We use intestines as sausage tube although they're just smooth muscle so no reason they shouldn't be eaten.

Fish and chips is food of the gods. Traditionally they're served with salt and malt vinegar although northern English people use gravy (boak) and Central belt Scots like a drop of curry sauce on then (also boak). No objection from me to ketchup or tartar sauce or for that matter, good mayonnaise. 🙂
