Those pie chips rock, but (from the new flavours) I like the Cheese ones better myself.

Vegemite though, Owns all. I wonder why Smiths didn;t do Vegemite flavoured chips... now those I would have bought.

(http://www.ifb.net/webit/hag.jpg)
yeah :doubt:

Ingredients
1 sheep’s pluck. i.e. the animals heart, liver, and lights (lungs).
Cold water.
1 sheep’s stomach.
1lb lightly toasted pinhead oatmeal (medium or coarse oatmeal).
1-2 tablespoons salt.
1 level tablespoon freshly ground black pepper.
1 tablespoon freshly ground allspice.
1 level tablespoon of mixed herbs.
8oz finely chopped suet.
4 large onions, finely chopped.
(lemon juice (or a good vinegar) is sometimes added as well as other flavourings such as cayenne pepper)
Directions
Wash the stomach in cold water until it is thoroughly clean and then soak it in cold salted water for about 8-10 hours.
Place the pluck in a large pot and cover with cold water. The windpipe ought to be hung over the side of the pot with a container beneath it in order to collect any drips. Gently simmer the pluck for approximately 2 hours or until it is tender and then leave the pluck to cool.
Finely chop or mince the pluck meat and then mix it with the oatmeal. Add about half a pint of the liquor in which the pluck was cooked (or use a good stock). Add the seasonings, suet and onions, ensuring everything is well mixed.
Fill the stomach with the mixture, leaving enough room for the oatmeal to expand into. Press out the air and then sew up the haggis. Prick the haggis a few times with a fine needle. Place the haggis it in boiling water and simmer for approximately 3 hours.


yummy...

Here's a little something I loveingly call "ghetto chili"

Basically, you dump the following ingredients into a pot:

2 cans of chili beans
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 cans of chili peppers
1 onion (diced or chopped)
1/2 pound of ground chuck hamburger meat (fully cooked obviously)

Mix it up and let it simmer until hot. Then you grate up some cheddar cheese. Put some fritos into the bottom of each bowl, and put as much cheese as you want on-top of the chips. Then pour the chili on top of that. Mix it up, and serve.  This **** is GOOD! :)
