It's a traditional Bulgarian semi-spicy, cured meat that's seasoned, stuffed into a stomach, or intestine and left to dry and age out in the open air. It's only produced in the Bulgarian mountains because of the weather and clean air.
To some of you this might sound awful, but it's one of the best things you can eat. Think of it like the Bulgarian version of Chorizo, but richer in taste.
It's so good, I have to custom order it to my city in Germany. Since they don't sell it at any of the Bulgarian stores here, because it's an expensive product. I buy one per week and they cost around 15 Euro. They range between 450-550 grams.
Not really, cause haggis is cooked and has bits of liver, heart, other organs and onions.
Our thing, called "Strandzhenski Diado", or Strandzha grandpa (Strandzha being a mountainous region in Bulgaria) only contains pure chopped meat that's been seasoned, cured and aged. The reason it's expensive is that it sits in the open air. So it is dependent on the weather. If it's too warm, the meat goes bad. So proper Strandzhenski Diado is produced on a smaller scale, available in only a few places in Bulgaria.
There are cheap versions that have minced meat (instead of chopped) and an artificial casing, but those don't taste as good. They are produced at a much larger scale in controlled environments and are available in every supermarket, but you can taste the difference in quality immediately.
As for haggis, too much of a livery flavor for my taste. I don't like liver.
What's your favorite snack?
