Rolicking Good Fun!
You've heard of Haggis - that horrible Scottish mess of oatmeal and innards boiled up in a sheep's stomach. (May my Scottish ancestors forgive me the "horrible" business.) There is very little that Grandma can say about this little short story without giving away the plot, which would be a crime. Robbie Burns would never forgive Grandma. Suffice it to say that it is a hoot, one I expect you'll get as big a kick out of as I did.Definitely recommended for those who need a laugh!

Entertaining but very short
I picked up this story free during an Amazon giveaway. Very short story attributing the development of the haggis to ancient Rome.Cute, and definitely an original premise. But don't settle down for a long read.

A Masterpiece!
There have been many films about the aftermath of war, but never have I seen such a brutally honest and shocking depiction of the de-humanization of soldiers back from war. This is the underlying premise of the new crime thriller from academy award winning writer/director Paul Haggis (Crash).Hank Deerfield (played by Tommy Lee Jones) is a retired veteran and military police officer searching for his son who has gone AWOL. A detective Emily Sanders (played by Charlize Theron) becomes interested in the case and starts helping Hank outside of her job. When Hank's son's body is found, the search suddenly turns into a search for the murderer.One of the many aspects I appreciated was that director Haggis did not turn this into a typical Hollywood crime thriller and also not turn it into a political propaganda piece against the war and President Bush. Instead he mixes the two plots together seamless and subtle, letting you decide for your self.Tommy Lee...

Blu Ray. Tommy Lee Jones plays Hank Deerfield, a retired military man investigating the mysterious disappearance of his soldier son, Mike, in this somber mystery-drama from director Paul Haggis. Charlize Theron is the civilian homicide cop in the small town near the base where Mike recently returned from a term of combat in Iraq. When this unlikely pair ends up investigating the mystery together, they encounter some suspicious covering-up from the army. Deerfield gets access to his son's camera phone which contains startling video footage from combat overseas. Top to learn more
Mike's company has returned from duty, but he is missing; Hank flies from Tennessee to Fort Rudd in the Southwest, to conduct his own investigation into the disappearance. There he meets a smart but put-upon police officer (Charlize Theron, glammed-down but still showing a bit too much sexy collarbone for a cop) who also smells something off in the Army's official story of the disappearance. The two form an unlikely team, but as a friend tells Deerfield early on, "You gotta trust somebody sometime, Hank," and Mike's vanishing is Hank's tipping point.
As Hank pieces together the horrifying story of Mike's fate, the incremental pain becomes etched in Jones' ragged features, and the camera captures all of it--far more powerfully than could a million words of reportage from the front lines. Theron's performance is also strong, and Susan Sarandon is moving if underutilized as Hank's grief-stricken wife, robbed of the simple nuclear family life she so wanted. "They shouldn't send heroes to places like Iraq," says one of Mike's buddies late in the film, and it's the viewers' collective sorrow--and the film's great achievement--to feel that at the deepest human level. --A.T.

A Theron tour de force
First of all, I have no idea why this movie was panned or lauded during its theatrical release as some kind of statement for or against the Iraq war. After having watched it, the political ramifications of that war are, in my opinion, totally irrelevant to this movie as a work of entertainment. There have been atrocities in every war since tribes were clubbing each other with mastodon bones, so let's just put that aside.Having been raised in the military as an Army brat -- and being a veteran myself -- I really love movies oriented toward military subjects, and this movie doesn't disappoint. In many ways, it's territory we've explored before in movies such as "The Caine Mutiny", "A Few Good Men", "Basic", "The General's Daughter", "Rules of Engagement" (another Jones movie), and many others. Why this one was castigated as being anti-war in any special way is totally beyond me.We have a stellar cast in what is essentially a "Courage Under Fire" genre movie, a...

Best haggis I've had in the US
Back home in Scotland I ate haggis at least twice a week and it's been a major craving for the 8 months I've lived in the US. This isn't that similar to tinned haggis in Scotland; mainly the texture of tinned haggis back home is finer and drier than this...but it is fairly close to the 'real' haggis in a skin and is spiced just perfectly. I think preparation counts for a lot with this haggis and I dry fry it in a pan whilst stirring it until it just starts to brown as I think that improves the texture. All in all it's great with a baked potato or just for fellow Scots missing a taste of home. If you haven't tried haggis then this is a great example of how good it is...and it really is like nothing else!

Pleasantly Surprised
I need to start off by saying this stuff is amazing! When a person is first given the list of ingredients for haggis, the stomach may turn a little. Being an adventurous food taster, I had to try it. Popping the can the contents appear to be similar to dog food. Once you mash it up and heat it in the microwave, the haggis transforms into a bowl of steamy goodness. Who would've thought that a conglomeration of sheep's hearts, lungs, and liver mixed with oats could taste so good? I definitley didn't. I was pleasantly surprised how the flavors meld into such a magnificent dish. Anyone in the states who is turned of by either the ingredients or shipping cost, should reconsider and give this stuff a whirl. (especially if you enjoy beef liver or chicken livers) This product is worth the price. I will be picking up this stuff many more times.

The government won't let us get the real thing from Scotland, so this is the next best thing. Doesn't taste like canned Haggis from Scotland but no-one at our Burn's night party knows that.

Culinary historians generally agree that the recipe and methods for making haggis can be traced to the ancient Greeks and Romans. These recipes were likely brought to the British Isles by the Romans and adapted to local ingredients. The earliest Scottish recipes for haggis were printed in the early 15th century. There are also many conflicting theories regarding the naming of haggis. Top to learn more

Great Little book, Tam O'Haggis is very cute!

a tiny slice of Scottishness
This is a version of Burns' famous poem Tam O'Shanter where the famous Tam has been replaced by a traditional haggis (ginger with a Scots bonnet)who runs through the story of Tam's infamous night out by the Auld Kirk. It's still a poem but shorter, easier to understand and illustrated with that weird wee haggis to make it appeal to children.

What a sweet children's book!
This really is a sweet children's book. Having been to a few Burns' Suppers, but not being Scottish myself, I have heard Tam O'Shanter recitations before, and have struggled to understand it all. This book is wonderful as it tells the story for children (allowing even me to understand it as well). And it is beautifully illustrated too.

In this delightful adaptation of Burns' narrative poem Tam O'Shanter, children are given an enchanting introduction to the poetry of the Scottish Bard. The adorable Tam O'Haggis character helps make learning about Robert Burns much more fun and understandable for children.

But the firm also specialises in the ultimate in “free from” produce – gluten-free, wheat-free, vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, flour-free, reduced sugar and reduced fat. One that has been making its presence felt here in Scotland in recent months is Yelp , an American-owned service which allows people to rate the services they have personally used. “But last year,” he says “we won a major food award so once we got that we knew the business would be OK. Sales are up 40 per cent over last year – though last year was really bad. Jack Muir of Illegal Jacks, for instance, says: “Yelp’s a nice review site, not like TripAdvisor where horrible people go to say horrible things. The key to her success has been in offering a range of “extremely healthy” cakes, made daily from scratch using organic stone-ground flour, free range and organic eggs, organic butter and organic raw cane sugar. But how do the companies that are being rated feel about this relatively new service – it’s “relatively” new because it has been going in the US for several years now. As part of its development, reviewers and those reviewed in Edinburgh have just come together for a “spring spectacular” at the Malmaison in Leith. That view is shared by Lorna Pellet of Love Pure Cakes , another Edinburgh-based firm – in fact, Union of Genius sells Lorna’s cakes in their shop. Elaine Mason, founder of Union of Genius in Edinburgh, found her new service reviewed on the day she opened in October last year.
With Jenna and her team making slow but steady sales in one location, Adam begins feeling the heat at the lack of sales from the footy fans until Stephen calls with some great news – he has managed to secure a deal with a local bus tour operator... This is where it becomes particularly interesting for me. Adam seemed to be suffering from word vomit and found it very hard to shut up whilst presenting his case to Lord Sugar and whilst Katie accepted the blame for the football location she... Katie was adamant that selling Adams pasta and meatball dish at a football match would be a winning idea due to the large footfall. Suffering with dwindling sales, Jenna takes the decision to move team Stirling to an alternative location and go head-to-head with an Aberdeen Angus burger van. Suddenly out of nowhere, Azhar seemed to come to life and very articulately explained that Adams greatest skill was passing all management decisions over to other team members, namely Stephen, and therefore wasn’t entirely responsible. Adam seemed to suddenly turn on at least four of his fellow team members when it came to choosing who to bring back in with him but finally settled on Katie and Azhar. Team Stirling, led by Jenna, seemed to grasp the basic idea of the task and set about creating an Aberdeen Angus based casserole. Who could have foreseen the uninterested response from the first bus load of potential customers or the fact that Stephen and the rest of the sub-team wouldn’t make it back in time to catch the next bus. The new pitch coupled with a price reduction seemed to do the trick and the team are once more busy with lots of customers complimenting the high quality of food and taking advantage of their multiple order discounts.
For those uninitiated folk who are wondering what the heck haggis is, I offer the ingredients list from the MacSween (Guardians of Scotland’s National Dish) Haggis package: lamb offal, beef fat, oatmeal, water, onion, salt, pepper, spices. I had to buy it. Discovering that the two-slice package cost just one pound, I had to buy two. ) Haggis is so important to the Scots (and there are six million people of Scottish descent in the U. S. , including the Hereford Zone), that the famous Scot poet Robert Burns wrote a poem about it. Bear with me as we get literary…. I did, however, see a sign in a butcher’s stall for haggis. Ah, but haggis is what makes Scotland great. I told the butcher that my husband has been threatening for years to make haggis. Then I peered around to the front of the stall to see if there actually was haggis for sale. According to our in-house haggis researcher John, the MacSween company would probably narrow that down to organ meats such as heart, liver, and lungs. For all his culinary threats, he had never actually tasted haggis before. The inside label contains the MacSween Original Award Winning Recipe for Haggis Nachos. ” He sold me the haggis, assuring me that it would be fine for the flight home.
