Alright, that does it. I'm hopping on a plane to SYD today so I can see what all the fuss is about.

Mmmmmmmm... Beetroot.

It's not a real burger unless there's pickled beetroot in it. Yum.

Related to names changing in different aussie states, potato scallops are another great example!

After a lifetime of hearing about how nasty haggis is I've never had any inclination to try it. Got it on a tasting menu the other day for the first time in my life and thought to myself, not bad

Yeah, I've had it, too. Agree, not bad.

I think it's one of those things the English used to ridicule their neighbors.

I tried it in a restaurant in Tennessee and I wasn't too impressed. However, you could clearly see that it had come from a can. Can anyone tell me if fresh haggis is way better?

I like beets, so I think I wouldn't mind beets on a sandwich.

Growing up, I didn't like beets, but I got served beets so often when living in Chile, I came to like them, especially dressed with salt and olive oil. I still like them that way, and on buttered bread, as others have mentioned.

Scottish friends made it for a Burns' Night party. It was reasonably tasty, though I suspect they may not have included the most awful offal.

My friends recitation of the Address to a Haggis was thoroughly unintelligible. As 'twas meant to be, I suspect.

Because of his Scottish or was it the Scotch?

It doesn't take more than a few drams to make me unintelligible.

Nah, not like Spam. I don't know what the equivalent in the UK would be. Wiki says it would be called luncheon meat.
