You can buy it sliced and yes you can fry it lol

Marion - gosh that name brings back memories, I had an Aunt Marion where I lived in Scotland and have never known anyone since with the name.

Thanks for putting the whole menu up, I was trying to describe Clootie pudding to my OH - a Sassenach - but that my grandma used to fry it too - that's right isn't it?

Here you go..

The "Bill O Fare" (menu) comprises "Cock-a-leekie" Soup,(an old Scottish recipe); The main course of "Haggis wi bashit neeps an' champit tatties" ( Haggis, mashed turnip/swede and mashed potatoes); Sweet course of "Clootie Dumplin" (Dumpling pudding prepared in a linen cloth or "cloot") or Scottish trifle; Final course of "Bannocks an Cheese" (Traditional Scottish Oatcakes and cheese board) finishing off with Coffee or Tea. Other variations exist and often the Haggis, Neeps an Tatties are served as a starter, with a main course of a Beef dish or Steak Pie. A custom has also developed where a "wee splash of Whisky Sauce", (which is straight whisky) is poured over the haggis giving it added flavour. Wine is often served with the meal and of course generous quantities of the finest Scottish malt whisky is consumed after the meal.

what's a neep.?

Hi - thanks for the inspiration. I'll certainly look at the recipe RRose.

I have Scottish family connections and I just thought it would be a novel idea, so that'll resolve it.

It will be an interesting experiment if nothing else!

I eat the veggie one :)) would never eat the real thing ....yuck lol

Lol Apologies to all the Scots who are throwing their hands up in horror !

I thought of inviting a couple of friends who I owe a supper, to have a Burns Night meal (Jan 25th).

Big problem is though she is a Veggie - would Haggis be a No-No?
