Burns Night - Haggis

[Mamaswan]

Fast approaching Burns night and our family gathers for a meal of haggis, neeps and tatties. We have swede rather than turnip. I say "we" but our family dynamic is as follows:

Me: Welsh/Greek
Wife: 100% Scot
Daughter and Grandson: born in England
Son in law: English/Italian

The only one who refuses to eat haggis is my wife.

Does she tell you to ‘get tae fuck’?

Never tried haggis. Often fancied it.

Simon Howie haggis, available in most large supermarkets and only £2.50 ish a throw. Outstanding fare! Whack one into your home delivery trolley.

Goes as well on a fry up as it does with neeps & tatties.

You've met her then!

Don't have it very often, but I love it. I'd say a good test would be if you like black pudding. If you don't, I doubt you'll like haggis.

Shes does like lorne sausage and tattie scones but when I try and get her to eat haggis she reminds me of my refusal to eat laverbread so I guess that's fair.

When I worked in Edinburgh the canteen did a sensational cullen skink.

They were forever handing out beer too. I really should've tried to stick around longer

Haggis is awesome. I have a mate who gets them from an organic butchers in Scotland.
The best way of cooking it I've found is in a slow cooker if you have one. Take it out of the casing pierce several times with a skewer to let the fat drain out, wrap in tinfoil and raise it slightly off the floor of the slow cooker with a metal pastry cutter or siimilar. Then pour a mug of water underneath it to keep it moist and act as a bain marie. Put the lid on and cook on low for 8/9 hours and unwrap -- it will be caramelised, soft and lush and the lard will have mostly drained out.

A crowd of us are going to a mates house on Sunday,they’re throwing a joint Chinese New Year party and Burns Night party,it’s called Chinese Burns Night.
I didn't particularly want to go but they’ve twisted my arm.
