well, according to my packaging

its; lamb offal, beef fat, oatmeal, water, onion, salt, pepper, spices.

and i'm not sure exactly what it is cooked in, some part of animal intestine i am sure! (but you don't eat that bit!)

its really yummy ( and i'm not scottish either! ) DH wasn't that impressed when told he was having it for tea too, but he has just eaten it and said it was really good!

I tried it, along with the kids, and we all loved it

(gave me terrible indigestion all afternoon though

)

We had a Scottish flag up, a pic and info about Robert Burns, flapjacks and we had a haggis competition - the mindees all drew pics of what they thought a haggis looked like

I do that too, I hate fat on meat

But...............I love haggis, it is not fatty at all. It is gorgeous, really tasty

I think most of the haggis you can buy in the supermarkets are not cooked in stomachs. They are in a plastic kind of wrapper thingy (good description eh!!!

)

the veggie ones are yummy. i am not veggie but don't like the 'meat' version, am not keen on offaly stuffy but veggie version is fab.

i got the veggie one a couple of years ago and didnt like.
but then again nothing beats haggis, neeps and tatties. When we have it here it is the only meal that every one has the same and its clean plates all round.
my 8 year old at first wouldnt touch it as when asked what it was told her what was in it she turned up her nose until she tried it, now she cant get enough of it.
