You probably don't want to dwell too much on the topic of taste with someone whose national dish is haggis...trust me; been there, done that..

Behave or I'll have Nixie and Clint hide your garlic stuffed olives. Though saying that they should be easy to sniff out.

I'm not entirely sure about the lungs or the stomach part, but there's nothing wrong with heart & liver.

You can't really taste the lungs. The liver oatmeal and pepper is really all you can taste, depending on who makes it really. The stomach it's only used for the casing and most places use synthetic skins these days.
The start and end to every story is the same. But what comes in between you have yourself to blame.

Intestines make for good sausages, so I see no reason to assume much else of stomachs. Synthetic, ew. :P

I know that for sure as I was a butcher for all my working days. Might be best if you don't try to guess what actually goes into some of those intestines though as you may never eat a sausage again. (only joking honest)

The casing is only used for holding the contents together for cooking, you don't eat the haggis casing. Think of it as a very early version of boil-in-the-bag.

Eh, you taste if if they dump in all kinds of icky fat. That being said, I'm mostly a de facto vegetarian.

Well you need the fat in them otherwise they would be quite unappetizing, tasteless dry lumps of meat. It's all about getting the mix right.

In any case, what I dislike is primarily too much fat, too much salt, and too much sugar. That applies to pretty much all food.

We keep getting told that we should all cut down on them anyway (in the UK that is) like everything else e.g. alcohol so disliking too much of them is probably a good thing. I don't use much salt nor sugar so I think I do well there, a bit of fat on my meat though is needed for flavour but I don't overdo it, a little bit of what I like won't kill me.

That's how I see it and most sensible people probably.
That doesn't fit in with those interfering politicians that want us to be ran as a Nanny State though.

Almost slipped on an icy sidewalk today. But this time I got winter boots on, and I think it prevented me from slipping and fall.

I've become a professional at falling. What I mean is when I do, I do a phenomenal job at hurting myself. One time I ran out to my car to roll the windows up because the sky decided it was a great time to piss all over the damn place. As I'm running back into the garage, I slip straight into the stairs with the first step I take. Shoes are definitely advisable during slick and wet conditions. I came out with a good size bruise on my leg and buttocks. No major injuries were sustained. Reportedly, the stairs and floor have made a full recovery. :P

Good thing you didn't fracture any bones. A friend of mine slipped on ice and fractured all the bones on her left fingers.

Lol! Well, at least the stairs didn't collapse. That would've been bad news if they're wooden stairs and collapsed when you fell. :P

Ouch! I've only broken one bone. I couldn't imagine several. Not to mention the hand. Eek!

They wouldn't have fallen on me becuase I slid into the bottom step. I was running towards the steps if that helps with a visual.

Did anyone catch it on camera or were your blushes spared?

That's a sore one, I broke 3 fingers once, hurt like hell that did. My Dr used ice lolly sticks for splints which amused me.

The one and only time I forgot to wear my helmet is ironically the one and only time I took a spill on a motorcycle...and the one and only time I broke a bone. Surprisingly, it was not my head (I know some of you hoping that were the case in hopes of explaining how I am...:P ), but my little finger. Also chipped my elbow on the same arm.

The fun part was that I had driven to the strip pits where by friends were riding their dirt bikes (one of which I borrowed to break my finger with) in my step dad's truck. This truck had a manual transmission, so of course I banged up the hand and arm used for shifting. What a treat that was...NOT!

Probably requires more than that to crack your head if it's anything like mine anyway.

Ooh! A chipped elbow sounds like it could be a sore one. I managed to crack my ribs the one and only time I came of a motorbike, wasn't wearing a helmet so I'm probably lucky that's all I cracked.

I have no idea, you using your phone or computer to do it? Though that shouldn't really make any difference.

I'm using my phone. As I was last night too. Perhaps I back spaced too much?

Edit: That is exactly what happened. I deleted a crucial bracket. :doh:

Easy done, more-so if using a phone I would imagine. I've done that myself a few times but fortunately I make a point of previewing my posts before I post it. That way I'm the only one that notices when I muck it up.

Yea, I usually preview and did with that post. Unfortunately I didn't figure out where I went wrong until after I asked and re-assessed my error.  :( I have a habit of answering my own dumb questions. lol

Yes, the elbow actually hurt more than the finger. When the folks too me to the ER, they were looking at my hand and I was going "Hey! Hand is fine, it's my elbow that hurts like hell!". Quite coincidental and ironic, our helmetless experiences. Both breaking something other than our heads...hehehe...
