Prompted by a post in a comm about vegetarian haggis.

Maybe I'm the only one to grasp this, but you don't want to eat haggis. Not even the vegetarian kind. Nor do you want to eat sausage, which is made up of all the parts of the animal you can't sell. Or chitlins, or frogs legs, or snails, or kidney anything. These aren't foods you want to eat, they're foods eaten by people who can't afford any good cuts of meat. The only reason other people eat them is because if they didn't, they'd have to admit that their ancestors were too poor to eat any decent food.

Intestines. Ugh.

huh. me and my family eat them because they're tasty.

...Well, sausage and 'chitlins' (we call those porkskins.), anyway.

Some people like the taste of them.

Brainwashing.

Or different strokes for different folks. My tastebuds enjoy sausage, too.

No. Seriously.

We like the taste of sausage. I'm not too keen on the other stuff, but my mom likes them.

I cook with sausage all the time. It's an essiential piece in a bunch of recipes at our hosue. (mostly of the $COLOR beans and rice variety. woops.)

Sometimes fancier doesn't mean tastier.
