Having got here via Google, looking for things to do with left-over haggis (thanks!): one traditional Scottish dessert I’ve had after haggis is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranachan

That’s a good question Lucille, I think I’d go for something relatively light because haggics is so heavy. Perhaps a light baked white chocolate cheesecake with some whisky in the base and a little bit of dark chocolate sauce? or mousse to keep it totally light and palate cleansing.

Sounds delicious, I’m from Aberdeen in scotland and looking for something to make
with the haggis I have in the fridge. Sounds like a good scottish new year recipe
as I’ve plenty of leftover haggis and plenty of whisky, although I might use drambuie
for the sauce instead to give it a sweeter flavour. Cheers.

Thanks, Schmoof. I was rather pleased with it.

I never knew that Richard. I realised that turnips and swede are very similar, which is why I substituted swede, but I didn’t know I was using the traditional item all along. I like the mushroom stuffign idea. I’ll inevitably have left over haggis again at some point, so I’ll try it.

Hi Lea, pork pie stuffed chicken? Now there’s an idea! You know, I’d swap you your lobsters for some black pudding if you wanted!

Hi Amanda, I bet you got some great haggis at St Andrews. I think I pay a little over the odds for it down in London, but its worth it to avoid the crummy supermarket versions.

Hi Amanda. So the turnip-swede confusion goes all the way down to Geordieland, then? To be honest I don’t think I’veever had a turnip. I wonder if I could even tell the difference. That breakfast sounds fab. I did try frying up haggis once. I hoped it would stay in a little cake. But it didn’t Maybe next time I’ll bind it then fry it for breakfast.

Hi Garrett. There is a big difference in quality between different manufacturers of haggis. I was also fairly ambivalent about it until I switched away from the ones we have in supermarkets. It made a massive difference. ANyhow, it can’t hurt to try it again if you get the chance.

Hi Kate. Give it a go! Seriously. It’s good!

Hi Jeanne. Goon actually refuses to eat black pudding. The only way I got him to eat it was in this stuffing, because I didn’t tell him it was there. He seemed to like it but still refuses to eat it now if it is undisguised.

Hi Joe. It’s not so bad, really. It’s only lambs lungs now- nothing more dodgy than that.

I’ve always wondered what Haggis would taste like, but I’m not sure I could ever get myself to try it! Maybe someday if we were to visit in your neck of the woods!

Wow - that looks terrific Ros! I have only had haggis a couple of times and although I was not repulsed, I can’t way I was gagging for more either. But now black pudding is a whole different story - I adore it! And I love th idea of stuffing chicken with it, not to mention the bacon and the whisky sauce. Aaaarrrgh! Hungry again!
