Haggis n neeps

I had traditional Scottish fayre last night - chicken tikka masala.
 
Didn't have the tatties or neeps but did have Haggis and Fried egg on Toast! mmmm
 
Love haggis, hate neeps. Turnip reminds me of when you scratch/pick your lug wi' a biro then forget and sook the end of the pen.

Pie 'n mash?
A dry meat pie, lumpy mash and that bleedin 'orrible liquor (peely wally parsley sauce made wi' vinegar

) they have with it.
t'Missus insists on going for pie 'n mash every time we go to London. I usually go find a chippy instead. Every pie 'n mash shop I have been to in London and the home counties is the same. They must share the recipes.
And don't get me started on bubble.
 
That's obviously a fake! the feathers are the wrong colour!!
 
we had our annual no scots allowed all english (apart from haggis, poetry and whisky obviously) burns night on saturday. twas a proper haggis as well, enough for 12 and properly wrapped (no plastic), twas delish, although we had it roast in the oven rather than boiled this time.

A haggis is a small animal native to Scotland. Well when I say animal, actually it's a bird with vestigial wings - like the ostrich. Because the habitat of the haggis is exclusively mountainous, and because it is always found on the sides of Scottish mountains, it has evolved a rather strange gait. The poor thing has only three legs, and each leg is a different length - the result of this is that when hunting haggis, you must get them on to a flat plain - then they are very easy to catch - they can only run round in circles

Thanks for clearing that up Eileen :thumbs:
I keep meaning to try haggis, I've eaten quite a few things in my life but somehow keep "forgetting" to try haggis

Oh and I'm with Pete Black pudding :thumbs:
 
google "Ramseys of carluke". Stunning butcher and they do deliver nationally. Suppliers to Gleneagles, Hesten blum... and the queen amongst others :-)
There Haggis is good but there black pudding is legend, Stornoway has nought on it :-)

Contradiction in terms I know but, has anybody tried veggie haggis? I can only find them at this time of year. They're lovely! We had one on saturday. I've a freezer full of both varieties at the mo! :)

A vegetarian haggis?

What bits of the vegetablists do you use to substitute, for intestines, offal and udders?
 
I did hear form a Scottish (Glasgow) colleague that the internationally famous Kama Sutra on Suchiehall st, were doing a Haggis curry... with whatever it translates from but basically a sag aloo, but neeps replacing the spinach..........

SO wish I was there last week...........

It's a bit of attention seeking, not that great :-( A lot of Indians also now do haggis pakora but chicken is better :-)
