Spam, Haggis, black pudding, faggots...
Discussion
I'm at home (alone - apart from toddler-JTW's bear and an annoying fly) today as I'm a bit poorly and my brain is over active and for some reason, it has decided that I should eat some Spam.
However, it's occurred to me that Spam, as well as the above listed food items, are real marmite dishes and a good proportion of people I know can't stand offal dishes or those that are considered "nasty" (which is where Spam fits in) - is it just me that likes these kinds of foods on PH?
( Faggots are listed for childish amusement value....)
Not helped by the fact that I've realised I've only got Corned beef in and no spam....

Haggis, pud and faggots yes, all lush.
Spam? Wrong.
...is the right answer! Spam? Wrong.
I haven't had Spam since I was a very young boy, and I really can't say I miss it.
Worst thing I've eaten: Thousand Year Old eggs in Hong Kong
(there's a theme here for awful food items from Asia!)
When I was at Le Mans a couple of years ago I was sat outside the camper van with the biggest hangover I have had in years and I was starving, as I hadn’t ate anything all morning.
I went into the van and found a can of Spam (my father in-law uses the van when he goes fishing) and a tin of plum tomatoes. I then set about making Spam and plum tomatoes sandwiches, I heated up the tomatoes and put them on top of the Spam and to be honest they where amazing – hangover gone and back on the beers - I have never had since

Well as a Scotsman myself I'd counter that the breakfast of choice should be:
Fruit pudding, black pudding, lorne sausage, tattie scones, mushrooms, bacon & eggs
Still wouldn't have Haggis & BP on the same plate. Next time you're up there see if you can find a fish & chip shop which does haggis & chips - a deep fried battered haggis sausage, lovely. No wonder heart disease is so high!

I quite often have haggis and chips when I am up there, very nice it is too! Me, I just love haggis any which way.Penny-lope said:
I wouldn't eat them together....haggis should be with tatties and neeps. Oh or in chicken balmorals.
Black pudding and brown sauce sarnies (and maybe a fried egg)
Agree with Haggis, Tatties, and Neeps. Shouldn't mess with it but don't know what chicken balmorals are?Black pudding and brown sauce sarnies (and maybe a fried egg)
Black Pudding with crispy bacon and Mustard for me. maybe a fried egg now and then
