I loved haggis, right up to when I fell pregnant with my son almost 4 years ago. I went out for Burns night when I was about 6m gone (I think) and was really really ill. The thought of it now turns my stomach :-( Just sausage and tatties for me now!

Happy Burns night to all you Scots

Haggis is nice

Don't see what the big fuss about it is really, and I have to admit I had a row on ***** once a few years ago with someone who was saying it was disgusting and horrible etc, but who admitted they'd never actually even tried it! by all means have a go if you tried and then didn't like but until then, shut up lol

Huge pet hate of mine that is, sorry and I'm not even Scottish!!

But yes we are having haggis neeps and tatties for tea and so would mindees but nobody stopped for tea today

I have had it and no i don't like it

[Bananabrain]

Have given mindees neeps and tatties in the past.
They weren't terribly impressed,but then some of the mindees I've had don't really know what vegetables are
Considered the haggis and stood for ages in Asda trying to decide,but decided the ingredients were a bit worrying, so didn't chance it.

[sweets]

never had it. what exactly is in it?

I made a sort of Haggis for dinner today - 2 years ago I had children of a scottish mum and on Burns night she told me to just do mince, tatties, & neeps which is what I did and had intended doiing just that this year when I found a recipe for Haggis on a link on here so I decided to go sort of half way for a couple of reasong 1) I was having another minder and her children round for lunch to help us celebrate & not sure they'd eat it and 2) The recipe I found had a picture and it looked rather dry and to me haggis is probably like a cross between a sausage and white pudding texture wise so I bought minced lamb and some lambs liver and fried off some onions, then the mince then the liver and liquidised that then I made a gravy from the essence left in the pan and added ginger, black pepper, mixed herbs, Oats and a measure of whiskey - (only had Irish whiskey - sorry) - so it was more like mince meat in gravy (texture wise) but had all the Haggis ingredients per the recipe I found.

For pudding they had scottish shortcake, Snack was Scottish Oat cakes with cream cheese, & schotch pancakes.

Oh I also played a scottish music CD and put up small scottish flags and pictures of Robbie burns that I printed off 2 years ago and laminated. I did that before I found this website it took me hours to find anything but now I just pop on here and everything is at my finger tips.

I think I've done my bit to help promote Burns night for all you Scots on here!!!

I wish I could find a short easy scottish poem suitable for children written by Robbie Burns.

[Andrea08]

I LOVE IT MMMMMMMMMMMMM with mash, butter and cheesy beans ohhhh want some now xxx

Some hae meat and cannae eat
Some would eat that want it
But we hae meat and we can eat
So let the Lord be thankit

My lot all love haggis, tatties and neeps. Must admit it was delish but I serve mine up win a red wine sauce so that the haggis isnt too dry and adds a little bit of flavour to it.

Have also done it with glayva or drambuie but cant use it when im giving it to the kids.
