Bliss Today Came Early....

[gness]

....the pub in the next village did a Burns Breakfast and Brunch in aid of a local charity....I had the brunch.....which is really breakfast for me....

The haggis was delicious.....my first this year.....in fact the whole experience was perfect....including the young staff who were so busy yet cheery and friendly.....☺

[ummmm]

I've never tried haggis. Not sure I would either.

[aelmpvw]

some people think it's offal ...

[gness]

I know some shy away from it, Ummmm....but it can be lovely...x

[gness]

...and some think it's offaly nice, Ael...x

[melv16]

There's nowt wrong with a bit of sheep's intestines, ummm:-)

[donny48]

Try it with a bit of clootie pudding lightly fried.

Although I cannot abide Robert Burns, an alcoholic, syphilitic tax collector with just a vague grasp of the King's English, I confess to liking haggis.

Never had haggis before, but I equate it with black pudding which I hate.

[sunny-dave]

Haggis with black pudding, bacon, sausage, egg and potato cakes is a real Scottish feast of a breakfast - my mouth is watering at the thought.

Reminds me - I must order my haggis from Frank's (my local butcher) - the best in Northants. Proper free range beasties and they walk them down from Scotland to get them fit and ready for the table (or so they say).

[gness]

If you cook, Dave....I'll give the address.....I have a little kilt and a piper friend......x

[Buenchico]

Haggis is a delight, especially if you find a really spicy one.

[gness]

It is, Chris.....nice and peppery.....bliss...x

Gness, sorry to butt in, check your twiddlemuffs post.:-) last entries.
I like Haggis, it'slovely but only have it around 'Burns' celebration time.

[Buenchico]

Asda, Tessco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons currently all have the cans of Grant's haggis on offer at just £1, although it's often only in their larger stores. (If you've not tried the tinned stuff before, you might be pleasantly surprised by just how good it actually is!). So that's the basis of a filling meal (which just needs some mash to go with it) for just 50p.

I'll be stocking up!

Makes all the difference, Dave. We're often accused of wanton cruelty by some 'rights' mob or other but chasing the wild haggis around the hill is beneficial both to the general health of the animal and the taste of the finished article.
The short 'inner' leg is a particularly prized delicacy.

[hellywelly4]

I love haggis, but then again, I also love tripe. Perhaps that says a lot about me???

[gness]

Thanks, BB......answered....x

Not tried the tinned ones, Chris.....I'll give them a go....x

I have one leg shorter than the other, Doug.....I go round in circles on the flat but I'm good on hills....a haggis in a former life maybe.....?

Tripes not for me, Helly.....but I do love haggis.....x

[Butterbun]

The very first time I bought haggis, the butcher asked if I wanted a male one or female. I must have looked bewildered, he was obviously having a laugh. They were fastened at the top with blue or pink string.

[gness]

That's lovely, BB......butcher's are often cheery funny folk....mine has his moments.....x

[sunny-dave]

Mine used to dispense free Scotch around Christmas and Burns Night - if the queue was more than two people, you got a free nip whilst you waited.

He's dead now and the shop is a bijou housette for a chelsea-tractor-driving yummy-mummy and her ghastly brood
