The Haggis thread

I have my net ready to get into the hills little buggers not going to out run me this time.. ;)

BOUGHT?! Haggis should be hunted by the end consumer and the best ones run clockwise when viewed from below. Unfortunately, I'm having several teeth out later today so chewing might be difficult for a week or 2. Haggis might be doable though (but will have to be farmed not wild.)

I bought from a hunter.... Honest...
 
There's plenty neeps on here:)
 
I trapped and caught my haggis a few weeks back with the idea of keeping it caged and feeding it up...more to go round. 1st mistake was to think a mere 6ft by 6ft wooden cage would suffice..Nae Nae I hear you cry and you would be right. The blighter gnawed through the wood leaving a pile of sawdust behind, interspersed with dollops of doo doo.

As if this wasn't bad enough it would appear it may have eaten the neighbours cat, :arghh: Tiddles hasn't been seen since the night of the "Great Escape" I haven't the heart to tell Mr Pickles that his beloved moggie may have succumbed to such a horrifying end, Life can be so very cruel :sulk:

It looks like Saturdays tea for me will be Pizza:(
 
Might be able to get me teef back in by Saturday. Only problem could be finding a decent pub haggis down here - pasties no problem, neeps and tatties ditto, just the chieftan o' t'puddin' race might be hard to source.
 
A slightly blurry picture of a female Haggis and it's offspring...............

Captive Haggises! Rare wee beasties. (You can tell they're not wild - no photos of wild specimens exist apart from the opposite of gob shots...)
 
Wow! A rare sight indeed. I always thought the female of the species had a yellow beak, but I stand corrected.
 
I am a Scot. Hate Haggis, porridge (wall paper paste) and long stopped drinking whisky in favour of red wine.
 
I can exclusively reveal to you that the Winterwatch trio on the Beeb have a wild haggis down as their must-film beastie for this week. Never mind the golden eagle, otter and wildcat, the haggis is in season and its time (unfortunately for it!) is now. :whistle:

Well I love haggis and porridge and I'm rather partial to a whiskey Mac :D

You can keep all your pine martens, wildcats and eagles, until you see a wild haggis you've never lived.
 
I refused to eat haggis for years. Then about 5 years ago discovered I loved it :)
 
Do Tesco do little miniatures? I was going to pass on the whisky sauce but now I fancy some and there's no point having a full bottle in the house just now.

(I'm not being lazy, I just hate going into Tesco with the kids so i'd rather know where i'm going and do a trolly dash style trip before one of them decides they don't want to be there)
 
Put my Haggis to death this morning after a few weeks fattening him up.

Almost ready to sit down and enjoy him !
 
I skinned and gutted a couple earlier.
As soon as my mates get here they'll kill 'em and cook 'em (y)
 
I have been throwing out whisky and shortbread into the garden for the last month in the hope of attracting a nice plump haggis, but to no avail. I think it is because the Lincolnshire mountains are too steep for them and they tire well before reaching Yellowbelly Castle. I have sent Mrs Y out with a torch (she is very good at imitating the call of the haggis in the breeding season) as a last-ditch tactic, but things are not looking good at present as I prefer my haggi hung for a week or two before gutting and cooking.

As for those who object to killing these delicious creatures, I have tried cooking them alive, but they make such a noise that the neighbours complained, so hitting them with a big stick is the only option.

However, I do have a plan B. It is contained within a bottle marked "Laphroaig". I have to go now as I hear it calling me.

Happy Burns Night all.

Tis Burns Night tonight so how many of our Scottish brethren here will be indulging in the wee hill dwelling beastie this evening. :D

No, I have no Scottish connections whatsoever but we seem to have slipped into the habit ever since first tasting haggis on Burns night. So, how will you have yours? Ours will be with tatties and cabbage (not a fan of neeps) although I have in the pas done a sort of shepherds pie with it.

Oh, and there may be a certain amount of Laphroaig involved at some point as well. :naughty:

can't stand burns, can't stand haggis and I can't stand Laphroaig (cheaper drinking peat water)
 
Got 13 drinking single malts and 200 minis to pick from... just forgot the haggis
