Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Hip-Hop Haggis Edition

There's nothing at all weird about the stuff you guys send us. But of course we would say that.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

Atlus addressing stuff to Charlie Tunoku? That's pretty great.

Scottish tablet is just hard fudge isn't it? I don't know what the fuck Dan flipped out over, unless he got a dodgy piece.

I wouldn't trust a person who doesn't break his Kit-Kat before eating it. We live in a civilized modern society, not breaking a Kit-Kat is what an animal would do.

Sometimes I wonder if Dan has sensory issues with food (like texture) seeing as he had to immediately spit out that Scottish Tablet or whatever.

As a Scotsman I think I can say with authority that Tablet is amazing. It's basically just sugar

Edit: I think Brad and Drew would probably dig Haggis... Dan would hate it for sure.

Dan freaking out over tablet (an incredibly innocuous old person sweet) is great. How does Jeff know what Boots is? What are Atlus sending to Charlie Tunoku?

Tablet is just a harder version of fudge, but with a weird grainy texture. The flavour is pretty unoffending, it's just sugar and butter. Seems like something Dan would like, but I guess he just had an instant knee-jerk reaction the moment he felt the texture of it. Tablet is mostly eaten by old people.

Haggis is very good and I eat it all the time. One of my favourite foods. I'm also a fan of black pudding, which has equally offending ingredients (blood and oatmeal).

Haggis should be a food that only exists in Game of Thrones.

@walkertr77: If I remember correctly, I think Jeff had an English comedy phase in the past? He's surprisingly knowledgable on British comedy shows.

I agree with the anti-pumpkin pie sentiment. I wish we could have banana cream pie for Thanksgiving once.

If I don't like something the first time I'm never inclined to try it again. Some exception because of group pressure (going to sushi places a bunch when I was in college forced me to begin liking sushi), but I don't have anyone pressuring me into liking Haggis!

Biting into both Twix bars at the same time? Jesus Christ, Jeff, you're a monster.

Also, it's pretty clear that no work outside of typing on a keyboard needs to happen on those desks.

I just brought up that version of Super Mario World during the Extra Life stuff. Barely finished the first island because they added VO for Mario to it and it drove me nuts.

Haggis Pakora is the best form of Haggis. And Haggis isn't as scary as non-Scots seem to think, It's basically just slightly spicy minced lamb mixed with oatmeal.

And Dan definitely has 'texture/mouthfeel' issues with food, a bunch of the things he hates just have weird textures. Tablet can set your teeth on edge a bit if you aren't used to it I guess.
