making a haggis

[Frank McGrath]

I remember seeing Jacques Pepin on TV once and he was describing the physical changes that occur when things are cooked different ways...it was pretty remarkable.

Suprised, though, that no one over here in the 'States hasn't figured out a way to either toss the things on the grill or knock one up in one of those turkey deep-fryers.

WARNING!!!! As I think of it, a haggis would probably EXPLODE if you tried to cook it in a freestanding deep-fryer!!!! IT WAS A JOKE!!!! DON'T TRY IT!!!

I love my deep fat fryer. Several turkeys have been sacrificed to the peanut oil. But whatever you fry, Must be dry. Water or other liquids are the bane to the fry pot. Be Careful. the recipe for Haggis sounds like there is too much fluid to be deep fried. But.....can the recipe be modified?

Was looking over your Haggis recipe and I couldnt help but notice you use Skirlie.
I love Skirlie, my Mom makes it but she forgot or ran out of time this year at Christmas. I must ask her why.

Alan it sounds like you had a good time preparing the haggis, it's good that everyone enjoyed it, cant wait for Burns Supper going to prepare my own haggis before that, if no one else wants any then more for me.

I hope you all had a good time at the kilt night

The girl is so pretty, I almost missed the haggis!

I had to cook mine in a Reynolds baking bag for the Burns Supper because I just could not get a sheep's stomach (something about mad cow disease and a'that an' a' that), but it worked well and tasted great.



And it doesn't look too bad, if I do say so myself.

Think I'm gonna see what can be done for another try for the Tartan Day celebration.

ok, now I see that P1M's recipes calls for BAKING the haggis. Most of the online recipes I've come across call for boiling it. I hate boiling stuff like this, it just yanks all the taste out of it, and these were rather bland. hmmmm..... gonna have to look into this.

Just a clarification. P1M's recipe calls for a pre-cooked haggis, so I assume it was boiled as called for, then finished off in the oven with all the great stuff added.

Yeah, the neeps and tatties were plentiful. I had enough haggis for an army--I thought--but with most of the troops eating seconds, it was pretty well destroyed by the end of the evening. Everythign was hand mashed which I tend to think adds to the flavor.

Good looking Haggis P1M!

This is what I tried out for our Nor Cal Burns night....I boiled it for an hour and a half, then baked for an hour or so....came out great!
