Selene, should I ask off-list just what brought on
such an outburst about the lad? <VBEG>

Certainly there had to be more than just this?

"Well, ye've got six months or so 'til Master Robert[ Burn]'s
Birthday, now haven't ye?"

Actually, that one intrigues me rather well. Boudain
with the casings stripped away mixed with some
fine-chopped Andouille substituting for somewhere
between a quarter and a third of the liver/grain
mixture, plus cayenne to replace or be added to
the black pepper, perhaps?

I wonder if we could start a marketing campaign for a new export to
Scotland:
"Boudain: it's much like haggis, with more (and different) grain!"

Hey, I've made / eaten the cranberry relish that includes
horseradish as an ingredient (recipe appears regularly
around / before USA Thanksgiving, on NPR news shows).
I love garlic, and have consumed my fair share of
chocolate-chip cookies over the years.  Even as a
diabetic (Type II), I suppose I could not-so-forcibly
budget myself to try one cookie combining the two tastes.

My taste buds just went "YUM!", and I'm certain that I've never
had a bowl of yours ... and find myself without a proper recipe.

That's o.k., I've got a Plan...

Oh, no, NOW you've done it.
