.... the number of people who say that they like haggis, after tasting it for the first time, who don't want more (after being told what the ingredients are) suggests both....
I have... a relationship with haggis and such things, also black and white pudding... I know what's in there, I know how it tastes... I keep going back for more (and rinsing with whisk(e)y¹... and then regretting it and hating myself... Similar to the doner kebab reaction in students I guess.

Many of the worlds foods that are now considered delicacies were originally only eaten by the poor.
Including Jaffa Cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the insects, in good position.
the fun part is that when they become "fancy" foods they end up spawning a million foodie arguments about what makes it "authentic", like that jamie oliver paella thing and the people screeching about how it's wrong to put chorizo in it, while in reality paella is pretty much "some rice and whatever the hell you can get your grubby little mitts on"
kinda like scouse or stovies, the recipe is "whatever's left over from the last pot of scouse plus an extra potato"
If my memories are good, one day I saw a report on the TV in which there was a country (or island) where the inhabitants said that at one time, the lobster and the spiny lobsterr was the food of the poors.
The rich did not look at this infamous food.

No idea what is all the fuss about. Clearly looks like a pie to me.
I do like the detail about dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is more chocolate-y than milk chocolate, and so the thinnest veneer of chocolate on your biscuit is all that's needed to make it taste chocolate.

P.S. @Frank. When I saw that you had quoted Siobhan I thought you were going to pick up on 'Scotch'.

Never did that with Penguins as a kid, but I was introduced to the "Tim-Tam Slam" when in Aussieland.
