    To me, it channels sausage. It differs from Banger, in the sense that instead of rusk, it has groats (whole oats) in it. It does taste gamey--the mutton is what lends it this flavor--but I think it is damn tasty.

    If you have ever eaten deer it will taste pretty familiar.

    Goodonya for going

    and

    Alba gu Brath!

    You eat to much of that stuff and the next thing you know you will want to wear a dress.

    Only kidding guys. We had the Highland Games up here last weekend at Grandfather Mountain. Thousands of kilt wearing and knife carrying folks from all over.

    my response didn't post. lol I take no offense to wearing a kilt or other peoples comments on it being a dress.... ;)

    I was talking with a lady from SC who hosts the Graham Clan tent at the Grandfather Highland Games! That is a really crazy coincidence!
