I love the stuff. Had it a couple times a week while I was going to school in Scotland and it's the first thing I search out on return trips.
Since the FDA has determined that sheep lungs are not fit for human consumption, you can't import the real stuff to the States so I make my own. Goes great with a pint of heavy.
1 lb beef heart, cut into 2-inch strips
1 lb beef liver
1/2 lb lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 pound of beef or lamb suet
1 1/2 cups peeled and finely chopped yellow onions
4 tablespoons Scotch whiskey
2 cups toasted pinhead oatmeal ( toasted on a cookie sheet at 375F for 10 minutes)
SEASONINGS
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
---------
Place the beef heart in a 4-quart covered pot and just cover with cold water.
Simmer, covered, for 70 minutes.
Add the beef liver and lamb stew meat and cover; simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the contents of the pot and cool.
Reserve 1 cup of the liquid.
Grind everything coarsely.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients and place into boiling bag.
Steam or boil for 90 minutes.
Drink three pints of heavy and try not to crush the doublings playing a melancholy Flower of Scotland on the pipes.
