“…But I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.” Frank Langella. Wise words from one of America’s greatest stage and screen actors and the creepiest Count Dracula since Bela Lugosi. After a lifetime in the spotlight, he shared this important lesson: “You should live your life as you wish.”
After a life off the radar screen, I can’t give you either of those recipes, but I can supply one for Haggis. Some say it’s an acquired taste, but if you are not Hannibal Lecter, or were not born and raised in Scotland, you might, like much maligned Count Dracula, find it a bity other- worldly.
- 1 sheep’s stomach, rinsed and soaked in salt water.

YUM!
