Haggis and a wee dram...

[Nikki]

To celebrate my 200th post I've come up with a story and a poll...

After having a great night with some blokes from Scotland, we discussed the chance of having a haggis and a wee dram when the Groundsman (from Scotland) came back from his sister's wedding.

No to me this is fantastic as haggis is something rare and treasured back here in the Netherlands...

Now I thought there must be some Scots here so I thought of making them green with envy after telling this.

In the end I wanted to ask something...

How many of you folks like haggis???

I like eating it, I haven't had it often and find it a bit dry, maybe I haven't had it cooked at it's best.

Love it,Nikki what part of Holland are you from ,we meet up with a couple of guys who play at NGC when we go to Ireland every year.

Even as a Englishman I like it. The chef in a local pub is Scottish so they do a great Burns Night and the haggis is always top drawer.

Zuid-Holland, near Rotterdam in a small town called Krimpen aan den IJssel.

nikki i love haggis. my day starts with a large bowl of porridge. i then prepare my hunting gear. lunch is chips and deep fried mars bar, washed down with irn bru. then i spend all afternoon hunting for haggis. dinner is then haggis neeps and tatties(ayrshire tatties). washed down with a litre of whiskey. this happens every day.

Do you have a scottish club head cover, bag with a scot flag and a scottish flag hanging outside your door...

You lucky so and so...

Love it, especially the real thing from a local butcher and not some crap from the supermarket.

There is a butchers shop in Kelso who do a Haggis Lasagne.

If you find it dry, add a bit of HP sauce, it is ideal for a hangover.

Immense stuff - one of the reasons Scotland is a great nation
have even got my 5 year old daughter into it - sat on a potato scone and topped with a poached egg (burns breakfast according the menu as i remember)

You should try and get the square slice with haggis running through it.

That in a roll with brown sauce is the mutts nuts.

first experience of it was Burn's Night at RAF Leuchars, 1973. We being ultra civilised Navy types thought we'd rescue the RAF chappies from the impending assault on their delicate constitutions so we kidnapped haggis, whiskey and piper. strangely they were ungrateful.

all I can get now is the supermarket stuff - can you get the real thing in Berwick (or is that too far south)?

 

[madandra]

Steve, I will bring you a haggis when we meet at Berwick.
