    I always have gravy when I eat haggis. It can be a bit dry otherwise.

    Indeed....done right, it should retain the lovely succulent moisture.

    Hopefully, it will be seasoned well.

    Never ever ever ever ask for gravey with yer haggis.

    If you do - you would be glasgow kissed to kingdom come.

    You cannot beat a McSween's haggis cooked well with all the trimmings.

    Let's be honest,that looks more like a turd in a hole than anything resembling a frog.
    I guess sometimes calling a spade a spade does nothing for the appetite.

    Not sure about Jeff, but I have enjoyed lots of it, usually cooking it myself, and often actually making it myself. So, to repeat, you do not really need gravy unless you fuck up cooking it OR horrors of horrors get yourself a PORK haggis!!!!!!


    Yeah I know - it is disgusting to realise but to save costs a lot of cheaper haggi are made from pork! For shame.

    Of course with a little creativity one could always fashion together a delectable plate of fusion fare.

    Larb kebab with salad and a brace of Pilsner Erquell?

    Err, yes, yes, yes and yes...



    ...fuck, yes!

    Why is British food so Boring and crap?

    Strange that someone should think such a silly thought...Whenever I am abroad and ask the best place to find certain local dishes, I am told the very best is in England, especially when it comes to Indian and certain other asian countries.

    Anyone that thinks that British food is boring and crap has not had the delights of good British food.

    Most countries have pretty good food...Maybe the Flippers get a bad rap since their stuff is hard to swallow some times...

    I love haggis.

    Especially when we have to chase them around the glens with their two short and two long legs. Gets their muscles going to make them ripe for the plucking.

    They are very squirmy. So before putting them in the sack you have to aneastize them.

    Years ago, friends and me had a Swiss guy believing all that. We even got him up to the point that October was the best hunting the haggis season. But no guns, tempt them with cat food. They are very shy.

    They have little long faces like hedgehogs and fat haggis like bodies.

    To gravy or not to gravy - that is the question.

    It is (very) *traditionally* eaten without gravy, and it should be moist enough. It is acceptable to pour a dram of whisky or Drambuie over the haggis however, which does add to the experience. The mash should be buttery enough that no gravy is needed.

    However, a whisky or Drambuie sauce, cream based or as a demi-glace is also acceptable in a non-traditional sense, and can add to an otherwise fine dish.

    Fact is, you go to Scotland and you can get it deep fried with chips and tomato sauce (ketchup), curried and a dozen of other ways so basically it is what it is.

    I remember chefing in a hotel in Aberdeen and having to make 600 chicken breasts stuffed with haggis (Chicken Rabbie Burns they called it of course). Now that is very nice, and does go well with gravy and a dash of Tabasco on the top.

    This statement, of course, is but a matter of cultural bias, defence, and subjectivity.

    Intelligence and tolerant perspectives will vary greatly, certainly when carrying a heavy cultural superlative model as well as the usual fantasy of culturally blinded superiority.

    It must also be noted that intelligence is a highly subjectivist hypocrintic modulation: what is considered perspex to one may be complete indigocity to another.
