Padriag is the man who introduced me to the
"Gallery of Regrettable Foods" website and book.
He should know.

Since properly made haggis with steel-cut,
not squished, oats comes across as
oatmeal stuffing with lamb giblets,
I suppose a dash of Cajun spice would make a crowd-pleaser.

I'm not a Spam fan, but fruit with pig products
is a well-known good combination,
I've heard about [and occasionally been served]
weirder things from my household.
Present company included.

One of these days, I'm going to have to
go throughthe SCA-period cookbooks and find
some recipe for minced, cooked pig parts
and document Spam.  I'm sure it can be done.
