How Haggis Made It Big In Japan

Everyone remembers their first grilled cheese sandwich; gooey, cheesy, toasty and warm. That’s exactly how Japanese couple Yoko and Okitsu felt when they stumbled upon Carol & Paddy’s Deeney’s market stall one fateful afternoon on a trip to London. What made Yoko & Okitsu’s sandwich truly memorable was that Deeney’s had decided to fill their ‘toasties’ with haggis, the traditional delicacy of Scotland. They loved the salty, savory and umami flavors of Deeney’s creation so much that they decided to take the recipe home with them. It wasn’t long before a Deeney’s franchise had been set up and the tasty treat was taking off in Tokyo. This is the remarkable tale of how two cultures, worlds and food palette’s have collided. 00:00 Intro 00:20 A trip to London 00:53 A haggis toastie epiphany 01:49 What is haggis? 02:20 Taking haggis to Japan 03:09 Delicious!
