Haggis

I am cooking haggis for supper tonight.  

I know it is a little too early for Burns night but I am assured that this was a freshly caught haggis which had been running free on the wild hills of the Highlands only a few days ago.

Now, just need to bash some neeps.

    Neeps and tatters. A nice glass of Scottish malt to wash it down perhaps?

    I do hope it was caught humanely and not in one of those terrible snares.

      Of course, Tasker. Although I may have to check for pieces of shot before serving.

    Has anyone invented a vegan haggis yet? There seems to vegan just about anything else!

      I have just done a quick Google search and there are plenty of recipes. Not sure about shop bought ones though.

    Don't know about vegan, but Sainsbury's have the vegetarian version at the moment...

    I don't actually want one, I just don't understand vegans wanting things that taste of meat.

      I think we should have steaks that taste of cabbage.

      Well, here is a coincidence: I watched "All Creatures Great and Small" tonight and guess what was served for dinner, Haggis with neeps and tatties! Now I know what it looks like! I couldn't believe it! :)

    It should be a very tender haggis if it was just caught on the hills! Watch out when you bash the neeps though, they tend to fight back! ;D

    I recently bought a pukka Haggis (M&S), which was nice. My favourite, however, are the tins of Grant's 'Premium Haggis' which are simply delicious. I eat mine fried in slices; usually with a fried egg.

      I have never tried it fried. Not sure that I shall, it seems a tad unhealthy!

    Is there a "season" for shooting/catching Haggis, you know, like the Glorious 12th, or are they mostly caught by illicit means?
