You can get a really good veggie one - wouldn't eat the real thing though.

Yeah, you can get a veggie one! Sainsburys do them!

I like mine pre-boiled, then in the oven for a crusty top finish! With tatties n neeps!

hands up - I am Scottish and have never put Haggis in my mouth - nor would I - it gives me the heebie jeebies....

When I first moved down here I told everyone it was a furry animal with 6 legs - 3 short and 3 long which lived in the mountains

It could only run one way round and to catch one, you had to confuse it and make it turn back on itself, therefore falling over

I said haggis legs were a delicacy and if they were ever in Scotland to go into the butchers and DEMAND haggis legs....the butcher would try and tell them they didn't exist because they only sold them to scots....But to insist

I shall go straight to Hell...

Don't know about veggie ones but the best real ones available in England, in my humble opinion, are from Marks and Sparks.

Very tasty and easy to cook - instructions on the pack.

Thres meat and Veggie ones - I only have the Veggie ones.

If you slice it in about half inch think slices, brush with oil and lay out on a tray then cook in the over for about 15 minutes at 180c - They are hot slightly crispy on the edges.

I use them as a substitute for Black Pudding in my world famous* Veggie breakfast.

I used to eat haggis when I was working in Scotland. They seemed to vary in taste and texture depending on what region they were from. All nice though.

Love haggis was on a business trip to Edinburgh and took the important Scottish client out for dinner in the evening I ordered Haggis and when the waitress bought it she said would you like anything else and I said yes some gravy please, she looked at me in disgust and said err you mean the stuff we put on lamb.

Nearly died of embarrassment but the client said its ok he's English, she just grinned and went and got me some.

Haggis are a bit like whisky. There are lots of different ones with different tastes.

Living up here I can go to different local butchers and get a different one from each. I prefer the coarser texture ones, preferrably with a bit more pepper than usual. I also like slices of it on a full breakfast.

When I was working up here and living in Norfolk I used to take orders for the local stuff and fill a coolbox with it on my last day! McSween, while probably the only one supermarkets stock, is overpriced and not the nicest.

Personally I am against the hunting and killing of the Haggis for food.

Once prevalent all over Scotland you can now only find small flocks of Haggis in the Highlands and in the Outer Hebrides.

I find the notion of America, home of the pink gloop McDonald's burger, synthetic cheese, tootsie rolls and chemically-bleached chicken, banning wholly natural products quite amusing.

Probably not enough chemicals in haggis for 'em.

I love haggis. Got one in the fridge at the moment to eat this week. Whenever I'm back up in Scotland I have to get a haggis supper (deep fried with chips).

I also found a chippy in Oxford that does haggis supper, it was behind the old Radcliffe Infirmary. They also did deep fried mars bars, but that's a step too far, even for me!

There's no such thing as a vegetarian haggis, it's just mixed vegetables in the shape of haggis, same as vegetarian bacon or whatever else they choose to falsely name.

A vegetarian haggis? What ever next...

By definition haggis is made with meat and offal...

It's like going to a butchers and asking for a steak with no meat in it...

If you are going to eat vegetables be original, don't copy meat dishes with pale imitations...
