Seems Health and Safety doesn't apply to the haggis

I love goat's cheese - it's nice if you pop it under the grill for 5 mins and serve with a warm salad

It does here, too - as 'he's on the batter', meaning he's looking to cop off with somebody!!
Anyway, here we have delicious 'scouse' - lovely served with red cabbage or beetroot.

Yeah Ive heard of people getting quite ill off dodgy oysters. I get the idea if you swallow them whole that you won;t get much of the taste though surely? When you are young, or on "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" if you are given something you don't like but have to eat you avoid chew and swallow whole to avoid tasting it as much as possible.
You taste the juice! If I really liked them (like I do prawns), I would chew them. Its a psychological thing for me though... the fear of food poisoning has far outweighed any pleasure the taste gives me.
They have an annual oyster banquet at our town hall... I have yet to hear of any of the councillors or town officials getting ill from them. *bites tongue*
