Or, alternatively, "Fuehrer". (Sticking "e" after "o", "u" or "a" - "oe", "ue" or "ae" - is equivalent to the umlauted "ö", "ä" or "ü" in German. And, thus, serves as a handy way of being able to type certain words like "Führer" on a non-German keyboard that lacks easy access to the umlauted characters. Also, "ss" is equivalent to "ß" - although there has been spelling reforms in Germany that's officially dropped a lot of usage of "ß", replacing it with "ss", as it has apparently fallen out of favour. Not fashionable in Germany anymore, it seems.)
@@klaxoncowThe spelling reform you referenced simply standardised when to use "ss" (after short vowels) and when to use "ß" (after long vowels and diphthongs). So "ich lasse" (I leave - short 'a') but "die Straße" (the street - long 'a'). There are other examples of alternative ways of writing characters not found on a keyboard, eg 'aa' for 'å' in Norwegian and Danish.
You know, before I went to America for the first time, I had this kooky notion that the stock standard cheesy comestible would be trump-coloured goop. But, like everything with America, they have the best of everything and the worst of everything. And the good stuff is cheaper.
To anyone who hasn't tried haggis: I know the list of ingredients sounds awful, but with the spices that go in and the way. It's minced, cooked, then minced again makes it delicious!
Absolutely. When I went to Scotland the first thing I did was finding haggis. I had no idea what it was and I absolutely love it. Could eat haggis three times a day
Put it in a steamer for half an hour, make potatoes and swede and cabbage mash, cut open the haggis and mix it with the mash, put it in the fridge, when cold press it into burgers in your hands then fry/bake -serve it with roast beef and roasted potatoes, and parsnips (neeps and tatties) it's the best way I know. Don't forget the gravy.
I've seen references to it in media and cartoons and such, and it was always described as bad, but I must admit, my curiosity has been piqued for years and it's been on my 'must try once' list.
Haggis is delicious, and once when I was reciting the Address to a Haggis to the IODE, I gave a little speech comparing the contents of haggis to other sausages, and doubled the number of people who tried it over the previous years. Some of those people will never eat a hot dog again.
We have haggis in Norway as well, but no stomach around it. It's called lungemos which literally translates as mashed lung. But it's actually quite good- we eat it with potatoes, carrots and a little bit of sugar on top.

As ever with my wee country the whole story is often not fully told. We kid ourselves first and foremost. Rabbie Burns was forward thinking and progressive, and came to support abolition, but before his poetry career took off he accepted a position as an overseer on a plantation in Jamaica. A role he described as a "negro driver". His later writings and egalitarian philosophies are to be applauded, but it's important to note he wasn't born with these views, he developed them over time with thought, experience and empathy. Now regarded as a champion of abolition, don't forget he himself nearly ended up with a career in the Caribbean slave trade. In 1786 he bought a ticket to the Indies and everything, but at the very last minute his Kilmarnock volume found success, and he went to Edinburgh instead.
Bavarian Germans who immigrated to America and settled in Western Maryland/Southern Pennsylvania Dutch heredity brought a variation on Haggis made from sausage trimmings, seasonings and diced potatoes in a pig's stomach and called "Hog Maw." It doesn't have lung, brain or heavy-flavor parts, but may include other parts of hog trimmings. I grew up on it as my mother was from that genealogy and it's actually quite tasty. I suspect the notion of using the stomach as a stuffing casing has been around for centuries.
I believe it's Scots, which was spoken in lowland Scotland. It's somewhere between a dialect of English and divergent language, so you're right for think it sounds like English.
As an American, I don't understand the disgust towards the idea of a haggis. It's just a sausage; yeah, it's made from the leftover garbage parts of the animal, but that's the entire point of sausages.
I would be that in the modern day the most smuggled thing would have been Cuban cigars. I live pretty close to the border, and lots, and lots of people bring over Cuban cigars.
Also the story isn't true. It originates from when Bertie Vogts became the Scotland manager and the poem was translated back and forth and became "King of the sausage people" but you know, comedians make stuff up.
I've never heard of a Dane eating seal. The seal-hunting in scandinavia is primarily for the purpose of controlling the population which is otherwise growing out of control (or perhaps more correctly competing with humans for fish and being a general nuisance to the fishing industry) rather than food. You *can* apparently get seal in various restaurants and the like, or if you happen to know a seal hunter I suppose, but to the majority of scandinavians it would be a curiosity at best, and many would probably find it distasteful. Seal meat apparently also takes a bit of know-how to avoid an unpleasant oily flavor from the blubber. Most seals that are hunted in scandinavia are just dumped into the ocean. Due to EU regulations prohibiting the trading of the meat and fur of seals there really isn't a market even for a non-EU member like Norway, so while the killing of the animals is supported and encouraged in many places, it all goes to waste. There are places in scandinavia where seal meat is more common, but they're much farther north than Denmark, and don't generally have much in the way of population density. In other words: to say that Scandinavians eat seal is a bit like saying that Americans eat lamb testicles. There are those who do, But it's so rare and localized that it's misleading to attribute it to the whole country or region.

I don't know...... We have an actual food-like substance for sale in America called Potted Meat Food Product. It contains meat items deemed unfit for Spam or hotdogs. Must be legal to sell it. Lots of companies do it - Hormel, Libby's, Armour, etc. I don't know of anyone who has actually eaten it though.
Potted meat doesn't have lung in it, but in any case the ban is on the _import_ of (sheep) lungs for fear of BSE. You can make and sell haggis domestically, lungs and all
we've had mchagis at mcdonald's and taco hagis at taco bell. it used to be called the mexican hangis but they changed it. it was too racist. it's taco bell for god's sake! but they use light substitute. never been brave enough to try 'em myself, mind you.
If it wasn’t for the photo, I would have said Kinder Surprise (in the last couple of years they changed, I think, so they may be able to get them). Their reasoning was that it was a toy inside a candy, which could be harmful to children. This reason always perplexed me as they sold Cracker Jack for decades which was had a prize/toy inside a box of candy/caramel popcorn. Cracker Jack also had a little clown-like mascot named Jack, to appeal to children. Kinder Surprise doesn’t need a commercial in Canada we just buy it for the toy and the chocolate.

Why is haggis spelled as if it is two syllables yet everyone on this show is saying a three syllable word when saying "haggis"? How does one get three syllables out of that simple word?
Because Fry is pronouncing it as “haggises” which you’d only use when referencing the different types of haggis, whereas the general plural is just “haggis”.
If it were Latin, it would have to be "haggus" with a "u" for the plural to be "haggi". "Haggis" would be pluralized something like "hagges". "-is" is pluralized "-es" usually, like "parenthesis -> parentheses" or "penis -> penes" (which is technically correct, if you ever have to use the plural).

ilikethisnamebetter Not sure if you care anymore but he is saying that no poet is liked as much in the English culture as Burns is in the scottish one.
Isn't it incredible how dismissive contemptuous and smugly imperious the English are when addressing ANYTHING Scottish . Is it that the English are so afraid of Scots and Scotland that they feel they have to put them down through haughty condescension at every opportunity ?

Oooh edgy. Pack your bags and head north pal.
MIGHTY FUHRER OF THE SAUSAGE PEOPLE

Holy shit when he read that little poem he went into a completely different language
Yes, Scots is a different language.
Didn't understand a damn thing he said. That Scottish brogue is nearly unintelligible. And when they're drunk, it's worse.
It's not a brogue, the poem is in the Scots language.

Better healthcare?
Actually Canadians flock to the USA for the superior healthcare. Even the politicians who denounce "private healthcare".
I don't know what anything of these things are
".. affection in the ENGLISH culture.." Was this a slip, or a dig?
ilikethisnamebetter Not sure if you care anymore but he is saying that no poet is liked as much in the English culture as Burns is in the scottish one.
What he means is that apart from Shakespeare no other poet is held in higher regard in England. This is true.
Not sure if you care any more, but thanks, I get it now :)@@Oceanmun8174

Isn't it incredible how dismissive contemptuous and smugly imperious the English are when addressing ANYTHING Scottish .
Is it that the English are so afraid of Scots and Scotland that they feel they have to put them down through haughty condescension at every opportunity ?
You are paranoid. If we ignore you, you moan. If we mention you, we're smugly imperious... What is wrong with you?
Pipe Tunes Thankfully !
Most things Scottish aren't Scottish
