Who feeds Haggis to a nine-month-old?

Who feeds Haggis to a nine-month-old?

We went to the Scottish Festival at Thanksgiving Point this weekend and my brother had an idea:  let the baby eat haggis.  HAGGIS???!* 




Oh yes, indeed.



I served an 18 month mission in bonnie Scotland twenty years ago, but the family had never eaten haggis.  (For some reason, it never made the menu rotations at our house.)

Well, the only one who loved the haggis this weekend,  and went back for handful after handful was the baby.  


This was the first time he'd had any meat at all.  Nine months old, eating haggis.  I was a little nervous, but he did not get any digestion problems the next day.



C.E. and A.J. liked the fish and chips better than the haggis.

 

Bagpipes-- the best Scottish export.



The baby loved the bagpipes, too.



Here they are, listening to the bagpipes at very great volume.




The baby and his uncle





The baby and his father



HAGGIS!





Yum, Yum --More haggis, please!







(*It's cooked inside a sheep's stomach!  Haggis --a Scottish national dish containing sheep's guts, onions, oatmeal, barley, suet, spices and salt, simmered in the stomach of a sheep for three hours and served either in the stomach or in a casing that will look like one.)
