Tapas: Sort of Mexican/Spanish do-it-yourself hors d'oeuvre. Tapas Bars have sprung up everywhere. Your table is served numerous small bowls of a variety of ingredients. You mix them up yourself to suit your own imagination and usually wrap them up in a small tortilla. Very tasty and depending on your ingredient selection, very healthy.

Haggis: hmmm... how do I put this without making you... well... queasy. You take a sheep or a calf. Slaughter it. Mince the internal organs, including lungs, liver, heart along with the meat of the animal. Add onions, spices, herbs and some sort of corn or oat meal. Stuff it into the animal's stomach and boil it until cooks thru. The dish is Scottish, sort of like a meat loaf.

If you can get past what it actually is and how it's cooked it can be really good depending on the herbs and spices one uses.

I live in SW Suburban Midlothian, a Scottish suburb. Every fall during the annual Scottish Fest Haggis is on the menu. Although by the time we arrived for the festivities last year they had run out. I was unable to have my annual dish of Haggis.
