Burns night (25th January)

[Z-Cook]

I'm conflicted. On one hand, that looks a lot like ground beef. On the other, it looks like something that would come with an autopsy report. But I do like pungent flavors... so one vodka martini and I'm in.

Minced sheep offal.
Read the recipe.

At the end of the day its like a very pungent flavoursome sausage.

More like white pudding?

Yes, similar.

I think he did and that's what he meant! A lot of people don't like offal.

I like strong meat but that picture is not pretty enough. Got to make food looks delicious. I mumbled OMG when I saw the haggis picture, lol.

You can use it in many ways to look good. How about this: Nigel Slater’s haggis recipes

Edit: That's with scallops

I didn’t know that, that dish is pretty.

I love haggis (and I have some Scottish ancestry, so I guess I come by it honestly!)

We were at the pub earlier this week and their Burns night specials were available, so I had the haggis poutine.

In th past, I have also had traditional haggis, neeps, and tatties, a haggis burger, and deep-fried haggis.

neeps, and tatties, a haggis burger

Amen. It's been 30+ years now that I've enjoyed my wife's neeps, and tatties, and haggis burger, but it's only a special night when I get some haggis poutine.

For those who don’t know but I did google, neeps=mashed turnips/swedes, tatties=mashed potatoes

Not heard of haggis poutine - looks like with veg?

Dunno! But I think Gone Hiking is a haggis fan

I was invited to a Burn's Night Supper in 1984. I remember the year clearly, because my son was barely 3 months old, and my wife was on a business trip.
We were served whisky, nothing else. Scottish oat cakes and Orkney cheese. The whisky kept coming. Then a bloke in a kilt came out and recited this: Address to a haggis. More whisky.
Bagpipes were sounded, and we ate haggis. With tatties and neeps. More whisky.
I, in all my innocence, who had never eaten anything but roast chicken, whacked down the entire plate. More whisky.
I managed to drive home, after two stops to park the tiger on the double yellow lines.
The following day, I had a proper ceann daoriach, worthy of the entire Scottish rugby team.
I have never (nor will ever) touched haggis again. Slainte mhath!

It’s poutine, but with haggis. Poutine is french fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Add haggis, and voila!
