Celebrating Scotland's Bard? Break Out the Haggis.

January 23, 2023

THIS ARTICLE IS ADAPTED FROM THE JANUARY 21, 2023, EDITION OF GASTRO OBSCURA’S FAVORITE THINGS NEWSLETTER. YOU CAN SIGN UP HERE. Like most traditional dishes that involve offal, haggis inspires both fandom and ridicule. I’ll leave the latter to the haters. I, for one, love this Scottish classic. Yes, it’s spiced organ meat that gets cooked with suet and oatmeal inside a sheep’s stomach. But the process yields a meal that’s warm, rich, and savory. Along with its classic...

From Boise City to just west of Guymon, Highway 412 runs razor’s-edge straight for 47.7 miles. And as if that wasn’t enough, when Highway 412 resumes its straight and...

These Toilet-Shaped Carnivorous Plants Thrive By Eating...

January 20, 2023

Look, carnivorous plants have it rough. Sure, they have a big fan base, including some of the heaviest hitters in the world of science. Charles Darwin, for example, was so obsessed with the innocuous-looking sundew Drosera that, in an 1860 letter to Charles Lyell, he declared, “I care more about Drosera than the origin of all the species in the world.” A few other species—real, imagined, or somewhere in between—have made it big in Hollywood and Broadway, from the...
