[firebreather]

The missus just grabbed the last one down the local shop. It's gonna get done tomorrow along with a brace of pheasant (kindly given to me by Bernie, cheers mate!) and some roast tatties! No doubt there will be gravy, I am in Yorkshire after all!

Yorkshire pudding and roast beef . Had it whin I was there and loved it.
PS You could send me a care package.

Hehehe! No problem Greg, the black pudding is good too. Dumpling and tatties scones - droool

But MAYO??? Pah! Foreign muck

I'll have to try out the idea I posted on the other thread, haggis cooked then stuffed into fire-baked potatoes with plenty of butter.

Now I had white pudding for breakfast in Belfast once. It was very tasty but I didn't ask how it was made. Can you enlighten me Ed?

Im off to edinburgh for a couple of days this month can anyone recommend a good eatery that does haggis while im there?

OK, here is what I make that may seem more approachable to people who don't like the idea of haggis. It's called 'Haggis, cream and malt whisky wrapped filo parcels with a malt whisky and grain mustard sauce'. This is served with the usual, neeps and tatties. It is THE best way to eat haggis though it may be a bit difficult to do in a field kitchen. Keeping the filo cool would be the only problem. This dish is an absolute winner. My extended family insist I make this every Burns night (and several other nights). Anyone interested in this recipe?

P.S. The bit that put's people off haggis is usually when they are told of the ingredients!
P.P.S. The best way, I think, to describe haggis is 'a peeled sheep': eek:

Haggis is just another version/variation of Sausage. People just hear a bit about what it is made from and then ... react. A good and bad part about the modern information age.

Most people do not want to hear what is in their sausage, nor do they want to see it made. They just want to enjoy it.

I, on the other hand, know what's in sausage, have made sausage, and still enjoy it in most all it's many variations. (can't take the extra spicy/hot kinds - yeah, I'm a wimp) It's one of the oldest and best ways to preserve, carry, and eat meat.

Just my humble thoughts to share. Now to go fry/roast up some sausage for a "light" snack.

Actually !!!

Who the hell cares of somebody else doesnt like Haggis.

Just means more for us sensible people who eat with their mouths and hearts not their eyes & ears.

Their loss our gain

Had it tonight with roast beef and loads of veggies. Haggis is becoming something of a staple for me at the moment, and I'm wearing my Black Watch Swanni! I'm sure I was Scottish in a previous life!

Maybe so Spamel, maybe so, is the Swannie soaked from a sudden downpour and is there muck and sheep poo on your wellies?

BTW, Just had Asda's Pork and Haggis sausages - not bad, not very haggisy but quite tasty, they have Bury black pudding ones too

 

[spamel]

No, I bought it from Beachlover over on BB and it needs some smoke in it. It'll get a few outings soon, once I get rid of this horrible soar throat but I think the haggis and Stags Breath has made a difference tonight!

 

[andy_e]

Gargle half a bottle of Lagavulin that'll shift it, swallowing is not optional btw

 

[spamel]

That'll be a sore throat too, not a soar throat which would be a throat catching thermals! See, a tiny little illness and I can't spell correctly!
