Doc Holliday Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ah! Haggis! Food of the Gods! I mean it's fit for Gods to dine on, not that I think Scots are Gods. Sliced about 1 inch thick and fried in butter Ah! I can just hear my arteries hardening at the thought of it. And chicken stuffed with speck. Had that in Scotland when I was up there some years back. Absolutely gorgeous. Never been able to find a recipe for it so if some kindly Scot could forward me a recipe then I may just be forced to refine my thoughts on the divinty of Scots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I dont care where it is from, MMmmmmm Haggis! Hold the neeps, and chip and deep fry the tatties and you have a meal fit for a king. You can get battered haggis in Scottish chippies And battered black pud. I'm hungry now! ZB PS, for Doc H: HAGGIS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double barrel Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 So an ancient recipe for haggis is found in england and this makes the haggis English..................Did they consider, it was stolen ? some theifing ancient toerag sneaked over the border and nicked it , or mabe it was just simply lost.........William Wallace was well known to be a keen visitor to England, mabe he droped it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Haggis (and a myriad of variations on the theme) has been made under many names all across the uk in the past. A lot of places where they used to preserve meat for shipping had their own versions because it was a convenient way to combine and cook those parts of the meat which could not be salted and shipped - the offal. There is only one "Haggis" though. I'm going to have some for tea this weekend now - I cant stop thinking about it! ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
