Haggis!! The Frying Scotsman - SW 9th and Alder

Today, I decided to go try out what has now become a full-time, regular menu item at The Frying Scotsman - the Haggis Supper.

This is a long-standing, and very much loved Fish and Chips cart run by a real Scotsman. He would do Haggis on special occasions, but has now added it to his regular rotation of offerings.

Located about halfway between Alder and Washington on SW 9th, featuring several varieties of Fish and Chips - Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Red Snapper and Mahi Mahi - plus add-ons: mushy peas, curry sauce... and a deep fried Mars Bar.

Now, on to the Haggis...

If you're not familiar, Haggis is traditionally made of sheep's liver, heart, and lungs - mixed with spices and onion and oatmeal and suet and such, encased in an animal stomach. (Sounds delicious, I know...)

This presentation is deep fried.

It comes with a container of tartar sauce, some very tasty cole slaw, and a generous helping of very tasty chips. The cart offers ketchup, malt vinegar, and HP sauce to help customize to your tastes. I opted for a small bit of malt vinegar for the Haggis, and HP sauce for my chips (a weakness of mine).
The Haggis went very well with both the tartar sauce and the HP sauce. By itself, it's a coarse and rich 'pudding' and the breading it's fried in a very crisp and tasty.

Good stuff. Give it a try if you're adventurous, or just like this kind of thing - I know it's not for everyone... but I can speak from experience, if you don't like the idea of Haggis, give them a try for the fantastic Fish and Chips offerings.
