It&#39;s refreshing to see somebody who still bothers to make them.<br /><br />As far as penises are concerned, I have never heard of them being eaten, but goat testicles (eggs...) are a delicacy, here in beirut, the lebanese south I guess, and certainly all over palestine.Amrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13144053804942737735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-33766770435382034922008-11-10T20:42:00.000+02:002008-11-10T20:42:00.000+02:00@Om Anastasio<BR/>I should've probably written Black Pepper. However, we do have a black spice here which is basically black pepper + mystery spices as per vendor. The best spices in Syria are found in Bzourieh in Damascus. However, my sister who lives in Canada often brings us wonderful stuff from all the little international and exotic places you have there.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-26081555801268882672008-11-10T20:19:00.000+02:002008-11-10T20:19:00.000+02:00You're darn right!!

St. Andrew's Day is coming up, so I may have to try a different kind of "Haggis". I think it will be minus the penis though...I have a hard enough time with the thought of working with intestines. (Ok that just sounds weird) Usually I buy my haggis pre-made. Thanks for pointing me to a great recipe!!

My heart is pounding so quickly, I really want it now!! But, I enjoyed it best when prepared by my dear Mum !! Last time I had it was about three months ago, prepared by my lovely wife. It was the first time she cooks it, and did it really well. Last time I ate it from my mum was, believe it or not, almost exactly 18 years ago, I remember because it was around the time I got married !! <BR/>One thing though, you did not mention the "Kaware3" (legs) of the sheep, and most importantly the head?? This is the best ever, honest. Those of you reading and finding this to be a bit "intimidating", it is really so nice. You can eat (almost) every single piece of meat on the head, and then enjoy "opening" the head to get to the brain. Honestly, cooked in the right way, this would be my all time favorite. Ahhhhh, I can taste it now as I describe it and my fingers and mind are fighting so that I can "really" express how good this meal can be !!<BR/>One last thing, I can't understand how come Ghalia never heard of it??!!<BR/>Abu Abdoabu abdonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1156866472415882392006-08-29T18:47:00.000+03:002006-08-29T18:47:00.000+03:00Insha'allah - sounds GREAT to ME!!! :) I won't have any problem using my hands - I am very easy going!

Have a real nice Asheh in front of us, then get at it with our hands and drink the sauce as one would drink a cup of tea. We should continue to do so until there's no Asheh left. Then we would consider the inevtable side-effects of such a huge and delicious meal.<BR/>Hopefully, ONE DAY!abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1156842038820711792006-08-29T12:00:00.000+03:002006-08-29T12:00:00.000+03:00Ascribo and Abufares ... if Abufares' wonderful description made me drool already - yours only emphazised that and my stomach starts to behave very unkind to me! This wonderful dish ... together with friends, smelling the sea, feeling the wind around the nose, having fun ... I do long for that!I love Munichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00824067975657198924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1156809001968906262006-08-29T02:50:00.000+03:002006-08-29T02:50:00.000+03:00Although I have always been a Tartoussi, but I enjoyed the different <I>cuisines</I> of my 2 grandmothers: of Damascus, and of Tripoli...<BR/><BR/>In spite of all that, I have tried <B><I>Asheh</B></I> only two years ago or so. I really regret every single occasion there's been an Asheh available and I didn't fill my own stomach. I'm afraid I'll never be able to fix that mistake. Anyway, I should try! At least when I come back to Tartous...I am longing for that, for the sake of Family, friends, food, and of course, our lovely sea...<BR/><BR/>CheersAscribohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09529102078749291013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1156778286207468762006-08-28T18:18:00.000+03:002006-08-28T18:18:00.000+03:00Karin<BR/><BR/>It's yummy indeed. True, it is prepared on special occasions in Tartous. We have it in our house, on the average, once a month, because I always request it. I've never measured the intestines of a sheep, but I would say the whole package is enough to feed 6 normal people. Over here we can get it at every butcher shop. We usually order it a day or 2 before. And, finally, I didn't cook this one. It's the great doing of Om Fares.<BR/>I'm almost certain that there are a few butcher shops in Munich where they would sell such a thing. You have to ask in a Turkish neighborhood or where there are people from the Middle East.<BR/>Thank you so much for dropping by.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1156777835936576732006-08-28T18:10:00.000+03:002006-08-28T18:10:00.000+03:00Ghalia<BR/><BR/>Please ask somebody home about it. What do you mean you've never heard of it! I tried it before in Damascus. May be it's cooked slightly different. But it's part of our folklore.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1156715302214390622006-08-28T00:48:00.000+03:002006-08-28T00:48:00.000+03:00Now THAT sounds like a REAL YUMMY recipe and my stomach tells me in no uncertain terms, he'd love to try that! It is a lot of work though I understand ... is there any special occasion for which it is prepared? How long is such an intestine of a sheep? Can you get that everywhere? I mean in each butcher store?? YOU cooked this? <BR/><BR/>I am laughing ... would I go to a butcher shop here in Munich and ask for a sheep's stomach, intestine and penis, they'd have their eyes pop out of the sockets and ask me to leave the shop without attracting even more attention!<BR/><BR/>I love your humorous way of writing - it always paints a big smile on my face!
