Comfort Food

Headline from Britain's Sky News: "Stricken Nation Turns to Haggis." And who can blame them? When I'm feeling down, nothing cheers me up like a bowlful of chopped intestines wrapped in stomach lining.

Technically, the food isn't actually haggis--it's slatur, an Icelandic dish that achieves the amazing feat of sounding even more revolting than haggis. Says the story:

Over two days spent together in the kitchen, the sheep's head is boiled, the intestines finely chopped and wrapped in stomach lining and even the blood is collected and turned into sausages.

Remember: the family that slaughters sheep and preserves their entrails together, stays together!
