Have you seen the real haggis over there in England before? > Curious wonders over here........Hugs, Donna Hi Donna Christie here up in Edinburgh, birthplace of vegetarian haggis. I would strongly caution against any kind of wondering about the real haggis, which looks (and smells) truly awful and don't let's even go there with the ingredients :-( although my carnivore friends all swear it tastes lovely (I refuse to believe them - although it's probably treasonous to say this of the national dish of Scotland) The vegetarian version, however, is lovely. This week I'm planning on trying out the Vegetarian Society veggie haggis recipe which was posted on the feralvegetarian group yesterday, purely because the ingredients look closer to the one I've eaten before. I'll report back on the results. Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 A haggis is a species of bird? I thought that was the name of the dish and it was the inside of a chicken used to cook the meal in.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ok Here is the link to haggis-hunting which I received from The Scotsman newspaper this morning : http://haggishunt.scotsman.com/how_to_play.cfm You'll see that this is a different sub-species from the one Ray was talking about. > A haggis is a species of bird? I thought that was the name of the dish and it was the inside of a chicken used to cook the meal in. Used to be sheep's stomach, perhaps still is. So sorry, this is absolutely not the thing to be discussing or even thinking about in a vegetarian group - I've been vegetarian for the last 37 years and have never eaten the original haggis, for which I am truly grateful.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Traditional Haggis is definitely the insides of things, usually sheep/lamb or deer, but chicken isn't any part of it.
