Alright boys what is the plan for today?
The plan for today is we're going in for Haggis.
And we're going to revisit one of my favorite spots that we went in Edinburgh about three
years ago.
It is called the Whiski Rooms.
Are you excited Rob?
I am.
And I've never actually eaten here but I am a fan of Haggis.
Yeah, and Audrey is sitting this one out because she doesn't like Haggis but I think the two
of us are going to love it.
Yeah, plus we need a cameraman so that is my job for the day.
You're the camerawoman for today.
Let's go.
Okay, so let's pretend it someones first time in Scotland and they've never heard of Haggis.
What is in it?
Yeah.
So the name of the game of Haggis basically it is sheep's pluck it contains heart, liver
and lungs and it is cooked inside the sheep's stomach and also it has oatmeal, spices and
onions so it has got a lot of things going on.
It is a very savory dish and I can't wait to try it again.
Okay, so what is on the menu for today's lunch?
So on the menu for today's lunch is all about the Haggis.
We've ordered three different kinds.
We're starting off with Haggis spring rolls and then we're getting normal Haggis with
neeps and tatties and then we're getting a vegetarian form of Haggis.
So we're really covering all the bases and we can't wait to try them all.
So as you can imagine we are at a restaurant called the Whiski Rooms and this place does
deliver on the whisky.
We're personally not going to have any today but if you do come here you have over 300
to choose from.
So we're starting off with the Haggis spring rolls and man these look good.
You can tell they're pipping hot and you can tell they're crispy.
So just going to go in and go for a bite.
Oh, wow.
Mmmmmm.
Mmmmm.
That is so good.
So crispy on the outside.
And then you have this wonderful blend of Haggis in the inside and like they are not
skimping out.
Like some spring rolls are really small and you're just getting a little bite.
Look at how thick that is in there.
Oh la lah.
That is awesome.
Now it is time for the main event.
The haggis.
I've just got it on a knife like this to demonstrate its consistency.
It is kind of like porridge and it is almost like a pate.
It is really really rich.
By no means is this a diet friendly meal but it does taste good and it is definitely comfort
food for a chilly day.
Let's try it.
Mmmm.
That's good.
And the best way I can describe it is like eating meat porridge.
So I wasn't really planning on being in the video today because I did not want to eat
Haggis; however, when we got here we saw that they had vegetarian option on the menu so
that is the one I ordered.
And as you can see it looks really really similar to the real Haggis.
And apparently this one is made with barley, carrots and different vegetables to kind of
give it that texture.
How is it?
It is good.
It doesn't taste like Haggis so I'm a happy girl.
Alright, now it is time to try the neeps and the tatties and we have gravy to pour all
over it.
So let's just smother them in gravy.
Nice and creamy.
Drown them.
Got to drown it here.
So neeps and tatties, if you've never tried them before, are basically Scottish for turnips
and potatoes.
And they're kind of like in a mashed type of consistency.
So they're nice and soft.
So I'm just going to grab a little bit of both because man they're good.
And this is all part of what makes it such a hearty meal is that you're getting a lot
of carbs.
So, oh.
That is wonderful.
I have to say this is the perfect food for today because it has been warm in Edinburgh
for the most part but today wow it really feels like fall so it is like it is changing
to the cold part of the season and having this is just a perfect fit.
Alright, it is time for price point and basically if your'e going to try haggis in Scotland
like at this restaurant for example we paid twelve pounds and I think that is a pretty
standard price.
Um, it is the kind of food that you're going to want to eat on a cold day it is very hearty.
It is very filling.
And it is one of the most traditional Scottish foods you can try so I highly recommend it.
Basically if you're anywhere in Scotland try the Haggis, neeps and tatties.
What did you think Rob?
I thought it was good.
If your'e going to come all the way to Scotland just try the Haggis.
You'll be glad you did.
