I had Haggis pakora once. a particularly Scottish combination.

Don't forget haggis crisps....

I notice Wetherspoons are doing a Haggis burger if you're caught short.

The fish hall is one of the best I've ever visited.

I was talking to someone from Skipton about markets and they were boasting about theirs. A week later I went to their market and had that Crocodile Dundee moment - "that's not a market"

Completely forgot about it this year. Would have bought a haggis from M&S otherwise or made one myself

meat hall at Bury Market

I saw Haggis last night but as the missus hates it decided to go with some chicken tonight.....

having said that recently I have been making sunday mash more interesting by adding some blackpudding during the mashing part - and I (unknowingly) bought some chilli black pudding which real does offer a bit of something extra with the sunday roast.

You go to Bury Market? My neck of the woods that. Well not the market, tend to avoid that like the plague but that area.

Occasionally. Nice to mix with the plebs to keep it real.

Which taste far better when you buy them from the meat hall at Bury Market.

Up there with getting a pasty from Crantock village store.

You can't get further from a real Haggis IME.

Try Sainsburys, who do a very nice one if you can't get to a real Scottish butchers.

Whilst you're there have a good look for Stornoway Black pudding, better than the (admittedly excellent) Bury version, but only stocked at the Managers discretion.

And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”

Watch out for the boys!

I believe the brand of choice is MacSween Haggis.

DEAD PEOPLE CANNOT CELEBRATE THEIR BIRTHDAYS

One of the major peeves of Google Doodles when they celebrate the "125th birthday of some long dead guy"

Its an excuse to get drunk, no more no less so lets not pretend its anything else!

Fair enough - it's my cousin's birthday too, so I'll celebrate with haggis, neeps and tatties. (No booze till Friday)

Haggis Curry (392g) | Grant's Foods

Too late, went with a chicken curry from Tom's Kitchen.

Had haggis, prefer black pudding (being a north Manchester lad, it would be treasonous not to!)

[SimonMac]

Nah, I'll celebrate with a curry or some other traditional dish.
