Canned Haggis In Lakewood, CO!
I posted a thread a couple months back, asking if there was a place locally that sold canned haggis and other foods from Scotland and the UK. Well, today I took my car in to get the oil changed, and wandered over to the strip-mall behind the oil change shop. I remembered a friend of mine had recommended a small British tea house called "House of Windsor", so I made a beeline over there. They're a tea room, but they also have a selection of imported foods. I'd planned on just getting some Bisto gravy and Oxo cubes to make mince and tatties (I usually make do with Knorr gravy powder and Wyler's bouillion cubes to make it...let me know if anyone wants the recipe, it's pretty tasty), when lo and behold, I looked down and saw the shelf full of cans of Stahly's Haggis...I promptly put the Oxo and Bisto back (since they both cost about $6 a package), and grabbed a can of haggis instead. At $8, it's slightly pricey, but I was so happy that there was a place within three miles of my apartment that sells haggis, I didn't care! I also walked out with a can of Ribena Spark (mmm, blackcurrant soda!), a Violet Crumble (Australian, I know, but still the BEST CANDYBAR EVER!) and a bottle of IrnBru. I spent a total of about $16, but it was worth every penny! Plus, the nice lady at the shop said that they're doing "Dinner And A Movie" night a couple times a month now...$10 a person, which includes food and the movie. Not too shabby! BTW, their Cottage (Shepherd's) Pie is freakin' delicious! For anyone in the Denver/Lakewood CO area, "House of Windsor" is located in the strip mall at the corner of Mississippi and Wadsworth...they've got canned Stahly's haggis (a compromise I know, but still WAY easier than making your own!), OXO cubes (all flavors), Bisto (gravy AND powdered soup mix, including "Cheese Flavor"), Bovril (mmmm...hot Bovril!), Orange Squash, IrnBru, all the tasty imported Cadbury and Nestle candy from the UK (that isn't sold domestically in the US...man, we're missing out on some great candy!), Branston Pickles (AND the relish version!), digestive biscuits, PG Tips, plus Marmite and Vegemite (I think both of them smell and taste like I would imagine a wet armpit would, but whatever floats your boat...) Oh, and more imported tea varieties than you can shake a stick at! I have absolutely NO affiliation with the store. But I was just so excited to see so much hard-to-find stuff so close to home (a place to buy haggis within a couple miles of my house!), that I had to share with everyone in the general area.
