Kaszanka and haggis?

How, in your view, does haggis compare with kaszanka? In objective terms (cost, ingredients, preparation) and subjectively (appetising appearance, aroma, flavourfulness)? Do either or both rank amongst your favourites? How and when (which meal) do you eat them?

Haggis,sorry,Im a stereotype,at least once or twice a fortnight :):)

Kaszanka is cheaper and contains fewer ingredients. People tend to buy haggis rather than make it. Kaszanka the same - it's cheap to buy and shop bought is no different to home made.


Both look good, but haggis has the offal and spices which make it a richer food. Black Pudding is much closer to kaszanka. There is a sausage-shaped haggis, but this tends to be sold in fish and chip shops in some parts of Scotland. I sometimes serve haggis for dinner - Polish guests usually love it.

Haggis, for me, is a world apart from kaszanka which is gross black pudding. I had haggis quite often as a kid so it was sth of a tradition to eat it with turnips and tatties. Kaszanka is a food for those who wish for an early grave.

Kaszanka is all right, hit or miss for me. You need to cover the lot with a tonne of pepper to get any true favour. With Haggis you know you are getting something yummy. Must be stated that Haggis(lamb or mutton) and Kaszanka(pig) are 2 totally different things, closest you will get to kaszanka is black pudding but with big differences in flavour.

Haggis is a food to be served as a meal, IMHO. It's not a stand-alone food and most definitely isn't a snack. The Burns Night dinner is lovely :)

Haggis and cheddar cheese sandwich! I love it!

An interesting combo but I'm traditional when it comes to haggis :)

Can also pick up a braveheart pizza from the local chip shop, lovely and a deep fried haggis mars bar is a must!

A braveheart pizza? Oh, Arbroath was the first to start that nonsense. It quickly spread to Montrose and then all around Scotland. I guess some Poles there have tried it and taken 10 years off of their lives.

Not that you needed to give me any excuses never to visit that junkie filled hell hole :D


It's quite interesting looking at some of the Polish lassies I know who come here skinny as a rake then suddenly get addicted to the chippy crap... doesn't take em long to plump up :D

Any coastal area is like that. They get the munchies and pig out on that garbage passed off as food.

Plumpish, maybe. Many Polish girls like their meat (no pun intended) but still seem to keep their weight down. Scotland is the capital of coronary heart disease in the world so good luck to them.

Bloody hell, you've just defined Scarborough Woof. Whitby Woof is much the same.

I don't think haggis would be so popular there.

here is a recipe for vegetarian haggis which I found on The Guardian

guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/jan/25/burns-night-supper-vegetarian-haggis

it looks half decent but more importantly it incorporates ingredients which are readily available in Poland

I am going to give it a bash and will let you know how I get on

Reminds me of artificial caviar made of seaweed. I never tried it but suppose it tastes like shyte.

you have left yourself wide open to a stinging retort

luckily I am feeling magnaminous

I think chip-shop haggis is nearer to kaszanka, but the better haggis is a lot different.

happy Burns Night, chaps!

I eat both regularly here... both are money WELL SPENT! :)

Can I buy haggis anywhere in Poland?

Definitely not like those you can have in Glasgow.

You can buy tinned haggis in Poland I think. Not the same admittedly but can be nice to make haggis-stuffed mushrooms with a bit of parmesan on top

This autumnal weather has got me thinking about haggis.

  Essential with haggis
  

Americans usually think that haggis is a bird, like turkey oir goose.

No we dont. Stop projecting your biased opinions about Americans.

Of course they do. I have a proof.

Bring out the Sheepshagger then...lol So, do you have a carp in your bathtub? Youre not true Polock if you dont.

Here is my proof - from a British textbook for 6th grade. They never lie.

You get your proof about American from a British kiddie book...LOLOL Nothing to do with us, Balwan.

That's not a British book it talks about 'Kilo's'
