True, Haggis has oatmeal in it, but Haggis is a pudding, ie contained in a
skin container (stomach, etc) and steamed or boiled rather than baked.

The meatloaf (ramequins of flesche) is a mixture of meats, bound with egg
and breadcrumbs, flavored with spices and herbs and baked.

Remember the point was to come up with familiar and 'safe" foods...most
people hear the word haggis and get all whimpy on ya (not realizing that a
goldurn hot dog could be considered a type of haggis).

Food weenies! Theyre everywhere! :)

PS...get this...the ramquin of flesche recipe has not bread, so its a
meatloaf. But all the other ramequin recipes in the chapter have you put
the stuff on bread. So if you figure that they just omitted the bread by
accident, you get a flavored ground meat, served on bread....sound
familiar? :)
