Chickabee Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 A friend of mine has just given me 2 haggis. Myself and my husband love it. Only thing is there's no cooking instructions. We will have it with needs and tatties. Any suggestion for a sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Has to be a whiskey cream sauce!! Had this in a nice pub in Edinburgh and it was YUM!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The plural of haggis is probably haggis Tomato ketchup is the "sauce" of choice for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't know but it seems sad that the legs on one side of their body are shorter than the legs on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Do haggis' have legs then? I thought it was all encased in a stomach. I thought the plural might be hagg-i's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't know but it seems sad that the legs on one side of their body are shorter than the legs on the other side. That, apparently, is evolutionary. Its so that they can run around on the uneven Scottish mountainsides without falling over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Don't need a sauce! Just lots of butter & black pepper in your neeps and butter, milk & black pepper in your tatties (not the healthiest meal ever, but hey ho!) Haggises, I reckon . Or a brace of haggis?!

LolaLayla Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yum. I taken mine out the skin and microwave it. I also have neeps with butter and pepper plus the mashed potatoes. No need for sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The plural is 'haggii'. Apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sorry Alisgirls, that was just wickedness. It's an old, old joke, most likely Morcambe and Wise. We rather sadly rehash it everytime we see Haggis. Thank you though Soapdragon, your reply was brilliant. Our children actually believed their were little creatures called Haggis running around the hills of Scotland for quite some time- I feel a little guilty about that, but not much.

That, apparently, is evolutionary. Its so that they can run around on the uneven Scottish mountainsides without falling over That's how they catch them. Chase them the wrong way round the hill and they fall over and roll to the bottom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
