What recipe are you using S, or is it a 'guarded family secret' :grin:

 

[sam.k]

It does involve about half a litre of whiskey per 40 haggis.

The oldest known recipe for haggis is from the 1400s and comes from lancashire, therefore not scottish :)

:sick: Much as I like haggis and have a pretty good idea of what is in it, I'm not sure I'd want to make one. It's the time when I am happy to trust my local butcher ( not those bigger shops, they'd still find something worse /cheaper to put in there )

Keep the recipe to yourself please, I like haggis :thumb:
but would really rather not know what goes into them :sick:

 

[Vossy1]

:lol:

 

[PD]

A haggis is like a football, except you don't kick it you eat it.....

and once youve eaten it, you wished you'd kicked it...!

 

[Vossy1]

:shock: Heathen :lol:

Just because it wasn't invented in Scotland doesn't not make it Scottish. Like Bagpipes - came from the Middle East originally but deemed to be Scottish.

I am rather partial to the Aldi haggii over some of our local award winning butchers :wha: I think the spice mix is about right and not too dry.
Lovely with neeps & tatties :thumb:

some of the 'best' haggis in the UK I find to be overly spiced and filled full of pointless crap, nothing wrong with keeping them simple :)

But shepherd's pipes, uillian pipes, Northumbrian small pipes, hummelchen etc. were all musical instruments, the Jocks developed them as a weapon.

I have never seen haggis in Aldi but will certainly be looking to trap one on Saturday.

I still don't understand our differences over turnips and swedes.

I like my haggis with mushy peas and mash!
Also very partial to Morrisons haggis, their black pudding is also rather good.

If it's legal in America, it ain't haggis worth eating.

Yes the two extra drone pipes certainly make it a weapon in even experienced hands. :lol: :lol:

I remember many an afternoon in the Lochcarryon Bar in the highlands convincing American tourists that haggis lived on the hill and had two legs shorter than the other. :lol: :lol:

I really like haggis........as for Cumberland sausage, it looks like an Ice Cream Man's Turd :shock:

grey if we meet at the spring thing I will be sure to let you hear my haggis mating call, it would shiver the pins off the most hardy scot.

there are many gullible people down here that have gone home with a freshly ferreted haggis.
