Sweet potatoes, parsnips and/or swede can also be used.





I`m Scottish through and through and never in my entire life have I heard of anyone pouring gravy over Haggis !

Pouring a wee Tot of whisky , yes ..Gravy no .NEVER .

Re: Burns Night

The truth is Topaz, that I'm not a big meat eater, a breast of chicken or a piece of fish does me in the meat line.

You'll have to come and visit me Jemflux, my butcher not only sells all the traditional meats, but also has supplies of 'safari' meats too, so I've eaten: Buffalo, Kangaroo, Ostrich, Kudu, Eland, Zebra, Camel, & Wildebeeste.

I agree, never heard of anyone putting gravy on their haggis.

I love haggis and this must be the first time in my life I have not celebrated Burns night.

For all of you gagging at the thought of eating it, you can buy vegetarian haggis which is rather nice.
