Have you ever wondered how a sheep's heart, liver, and lungs mixed with onions, oatmeal, and spices would taste like? You probably haven't. That mouthwatering concoction would be called haggis, which is a delicacy in Scotland. Just by mentioning the ingredients it would make most people faint (that is understandably so) but if you put all your prejudices aside it can be a thing that might be enjoyed by yourself, your friends and family.
If you find haggis delicious you can try and break the world record of eating haggis which is 3 lb (or 1.4 kg). On the other hand, if for some reason you don't find haggis appetizing you might be interested in a sport called haggis hurling which involves throwing a haggis as far as possible. The world record is 217 feet (66 meters). Whichever you choose, in both cases you are bound to have some fun.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
