Actually good, it kind of mostly dissolved into the sauce.

Bit like a Keema curry texture

Yes. In fact, I'm probably a bit of a haggis snob - it's got to be the best or I don't bother. Fortunately, I know just where to get said best.

Yes it is - weird when you consider the differences in food hygiene between the UK and US.

That said, the UK is about the only country in the world whose residents (between 1980-1996) are banned from donating blood abroad on account of BSE/vCJD... thanks to Maggie T's deregulation obsession.

You don't even notice the meat to be honest. It's all finely ground.

Sadly, daaaan saaaaarf, we don’t see many wild Haggis, and there are very few Haggis battery farms down here either.

I only ever seem to get them further north (a couple of hundred miles, I’ll grant you...!) and then the best ones are the wild-trapped ones from the mountainsides...

The haggis season has begun,

All over Scotland every gun,

Is taken down with loving care,

Though some prefer the haggis snare,

For haggis are a wily lot,

That's why they are so seldom shot.

Love haggis. It's been given so much bad press over the years. I make croquettes out of haggis and tell people it's savoury lamb croquettes and they love them.

The import of traditional haggis is illegal in the US. Haggis made in the US is not the real thing. The recipe is different. Traditional haggis has sheep's lung as a major ingredient, whereas there's none in US haggis - it's been banned (as 'unfit for human consumption') in the US since 1971. The texture and taste is significantly different.

Also, if you want the real thing in the UK, get it from a butcher who's known for its quality - not from a supermarket where it tends to contain pork, which is also not a traditional ingredient.

Serve with champit tatties (with butter and cream) and neeps (pop a carrot into the mash to sweeten it), and wash down with a single malt.

Haha I made a shepherds pie, well that’s what the lad was told, he loved it. Year later served it up as should be, he pulled a face. I said no need to pull a face this is the shepherds pie you love but served as it should be... he demolished it
