    Ban on haggis lifted

    I really need to get out more. I did't even know there was ban in place.

    Anyone here suffered from "exploding haggis becomes haggis soup" syndrome ?

    It is a tribulation of our modern age. Haggis sheathed in a plastic wrapper instead of sheep's stomach lining - no possible expansion catered for during cooking you see.

    A couple of ways to beat it is to empty the haggis out of the plastic haggis bag, cook in the oven in a casserole dish (not too high !), or else cover the haggis in its bag in alu foil and boil as normal. The foil absorbs the bang ! a controlled explosion as it were !

    Looks like Caledonian Kitchen (Jim Walters) is going to have an increase in competition.

    Just found out about this today from a friend who won't try haggis because "offal sounds awful". Always good to have the authentic version reintroduced.

    Sadly no, that news was ahead of its time.

    Sadly, like the great highland bagpipe, governments still consider the haggis a lethal weapon.
