I was discussing with a friend the other day, we agreed that the wild Highland haggis is the tastiest, if you get up early you can catch them before they retreat to their burrows for the day!

And you have to be careful chasing as they only run one way around the mountain as legs are shorter on one side than the other

Left legs I understand, they like to go clockwise!

Not so common on the east coast Lass, they don’t like the salt air!

Ah but Marica, in Scotland you can also partake of White Pudding. A far rarer wee beastie!

Reply by charol 13th January 2021 at 8:55 pm
White pudding is even better but you cannot buy it in the South down here

Reply by Andy Paddles 14th January 2021 at 12:50 am
A scots delicacy (although Ireland and the NE have it I understand) Marica!

Lancashire haggis company is the best haggis and has won the best haggis outside scotand it’s not as peppery as Scottish haggis
They also do a haggis and black pudding which is delicious with your breakfast fry up-
Reply by Andy Paddles 14th January 2021 at 12:55 am
Haggis and BP combined sounds good! Let’s face it, Lancashire is renowned for its black pudding! Surely everyone knows of the East Lancs Pudding Triangle?

My local butcher here makes his own and although it’s square it taste brilliant.

Reply by Andy Paddles 14th January 2021 at 12:44 pm
Square sausage works a treat, why wouldn’t square haggis be just as good!
Fair fa’ your honest, squared up face,
Great chieftain o’ the pudding race!

Hello just to let you all know I decided to taste a Haggis before buy one.
It tasted Offal!-
Reply by Mary A 14th January 2021 at 1:05 pm
😂🤣😂. Do you wonder why they add a bucket of pepper to it. You’ve got to disguise whatever’s in it somehow! I still love it though and as a Scot’s lass, couldn’t live without it, especially at Rabbie Burns’ suppers. Whiskey sauce is a must. Yum! Doesn’t taste the same without a piper skirling in your ear though! 😂😂

Hello have you a whiskey sauce recipes please?

Thank very much. I will look forward to receiving it.

Offal is really great. I just love it all.

Reply by Mary A 14th January 2021 at 11:25 pm
That’s great. I used to hold Burns’ Suppers in my class but struggled to get the kids to eat it. Maybe I shouldn’t have told them what was in it first! 😃😃

Reply by Yellow Socks 14th January 2021 at 11:33 pm
Children should understand about what they eat. I would teach children how to pluck birds and dress animals and get them to taste what I cooked. This was all voluntary on their side. It was great to see the expressions on their faces and the others watching them.

I agree. I once dissected a fish during a lesson and they were pretty fascinated by that. Some of them really wanted to get involved, others were running for the door. 😃
