Breaking News: Haggis Cart May be on 51st
A little confusion as to the placement of the free haggis cart. As of 11:30am it’s at 51st and Broadway but it may or may not move to 52nd… also- it’s not haggis hot dogs, it’s small portions of haggis wrapped in puff pastry, which is sort of a cop out if you ask me. You wrap anything in puff pastry and it’s going to be freaking good. I want my sheep’s stomach! This is more of a gateway haggis… so if you are scared but intrigued, this might be your best chance of enjoying it.

I had some, and found it deeply disappointing.
ANyone know a place in NYC to get good haggis? Maybe at one of the Aussie/Kiwi restaurants? I have a craving now, and the stuff at Chip Shop just didn’t cut it.

It was OK. Essence of offal within the filo but the thing I missed most was the peppery zing, of which there was none. But it was kind of cooly surreal the way a streetmeat cart was taken over by men in kilts and made over to be a haggis wagon, like something out of a Python sketch. No one expects the Haggis Inquisition!

Oh, St. Andrews on 44th St. has some haggis that is passable but alas I think the only real deal in the USA will be found grazing in a field and must be made yourself from there. But do go to St. A’s for some Belhaven on draught cause it’s still an awesome bar with great food as well.

Agree with the two comments above me. Sample is small, and it is missing a kick. The puff pastry is done well, flaky, yummy. The innards need more seasoning for sure…
I saw the guy offer it to people walking by and people barely looked at it. Sad.
I want more!

bland, boring, blech

Ha…. haggis inquisition…

I’d sooner have a sex change operation than eat offal from a filthy New Yawk vendor’s cart.
This is why the rest of the world finds New Yawk and its inhabitants do downright alien.

DocChuck, Angela and Peter Lusk are over at Zen Burger waiting for you to share their turnip kabab

Hmmm.
“Filthy vendor cart.”
“New Yawk.”
Hmmm. Why don’t you fuck off back to Jersey, now?

Actually my money’s on that self righteous San Diegan who was sniffing around recently. Remember when we totally moidahed (old-timey brooklyn accent) that guy?

I’d sooner eat haggis from a pathogen-laden vendor cart than live in New Jersey.
I am a PhD, by the way. And I am not (THANK GOD) a Yankee.

His blow up wife does hair electrolosis from their RV.

Totally agree about it not being the most authentic. I was pretty psyched for haggis hot dogs. But still, I thought it was pretty darn delicious. And much better than the haggis I ate at the Pre-Parade Ceilidh the night before.
Thanks again for the tip about the free eats, Zach. I uploaded some pics of the haggis to my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nycblondieandbrownie/sets/72157604417493822/ and to the ML Flickr Pool.

what’s up doc…
Do you carry wipes in your pocket too to avoid big bad germs wherever you go? LOL.
That is why Wendys will never go out of business. Germophobes. -
It was boggin’!
51st.
Delicious.
Small though
