The Dish: Haggis with mashed potatoes, pickled vegetables, and gravy.
Where to Get It: Royal Mile Pub, 2407 Price Ave., Wheaton; (301) 946-4511; royalmilepub.net
Price: $7.50
What It Is: Traditional haggis is a mixture of heart, liver, and lungs with fat, onions, and oatmeal boiled in a sheep’s stomach. Like most Scottish fare, this staple is hardy and filling—the kind of stuff responsible for sturdy Scotsmen who can toss 200-pound logs for no good reason.
What It Tastes Like: You’re off the hook: There’s no sheep stomach in sight. Instead, the haggis is loosely packed with lamb hearts, kidneys, and livers and served without a casing. Livery and earthy, it easily cuts with a fork. Served over mashed potatoes and pickled carrots, celery, and onions, it’s liberally covered in brown beef gravy. It’s similar to meatloaf, but way more interesting.
The Story: Haggis is considered the national dish of Scotland, potentially rivaled only by deep-fried Mars bars, another popular Scottish “delicacy.” Head chef Jason Coletta makes it slightly less overwhelming by serving the haggis as an appetizer.
How to Eat It: Hungrily. You’ve got cabers to toss.

#ToTry Fried chicken with Waffles & Beignets for brunch
Tried this yesterday. Me and a bunch of friends tried a couple dishes.
I tried the medi-lamb salad, done med-well. There was about 4oz of lamb done beautifully , pink in the middle with a nice medi spice crust on the outside and a sweet yellow relish.
Friends got the chicken and waffles from the review above and the grilled cheese sandwich. Also tried the bacon and tomato jam sandwich on the rye bread . The sandwiches were perfect, nicely buttered and browned with perfect melty cheese in the middle.
