Saw in Spinneys today vegetarian haggis, what is that all about??? Is it anything like the real meat haggis??? I mean as in taste/texture not contents.

He did seem a bit odd, but was proudly boasting about her poaching skills!! Just spat my wine out - hilarious! You dont poach haggis. It has to be shaved of his hairy coat and then gently roasted in the oven and served with copious amounts of whiskey. Whilst cooking you must stand over the stove and quote poetry to help take away the pain of roasting. There are always fights in our house as to who gets the longer legs!! A delicacy!!!

Yes a lovely old lady runs daily tours her name is Lizzie. She is very knowledgeable (sp?) been there for years apparently. I just tried to book it and Lizzie is off this Burns night as she's working over Easter at some family celebration. The substitute guide is called Milla - hasn't really done much before, but quick on the job apparently. Is that the same Milla as in C. Milla, she is very good with horses though. Chas her hubby is an odd sort but pleasant enough apparently you might see him talking to Trees (not EW Trees) wooden ones, whilst Haggis hunting. Well fancy that! It was Milla's hubby Chaz who took the booking! He did seem a bit odd, but was proudly boasting about her poaching skills!!

No no no! Haggis are hairy shy creatures with 2 short front legs and 2 long back legs. This is to help them run faster up the hills through the heather. The haggis is now an endangered species. No haggis hunting allowed. The tartan haggis is the most rare of all. "No haggis hunting allowed" hence vegetarian haggis it all makes sense to a dumb englishwoman now. ;) I'm ashamed to say that my family was for many years heavily involved in haggis poaching, which finally resulted in the transportation of my Great Granpa to Oz. Would that be Great Grandpa Lively? I'm sure we had stories aobut him at primary school..... Afraid so........by the time he landed in Sydney, he had been nicknamed Haggis Huntly by his fellow convicts....... <em>edited by Livelytrish on 20/01/2011</em>

No chance - apparently the Scotiish have this thing called Burns night and they eat them all. ;) Is it called Burns because they burn all the Haggis's or because they Rob people of Haggis?

Yes it is similar in those respects. But much more humane. Haggis hunting is a very cruel sport.........they only have three legs and cna easliy be outrun by a fast haggis hound.. edited by Livelytrish on 20/01/2011 He he he.
