Default FAO Feek & Stan RE: Haggis

The F Word tonight features haggis in one way or another, just missed the advert apart from that, but let it be known i'm thinking of you!

haggis is very nice, if you can get decent stuff. A Scottish mate gave it to me and it was brill. Tried a few supermarket stuff and it was horrible.

for those who know is there any decent stuff readily available in england?

It isn't readily available, but MacSweens is occasionally available and is pretty damned good.

Tesco do the Halls haggis which is average but far from the best.

A lot of decent butchers stock McSweens, I've now found another one locally who does which is great, I'm going to try some new stuff like haggis curry

I've bought online in the past from McKean's of Scotland - Not cheap because they're expensive to ship in refrigerated packages but the produce is superb. More in this thread here.

I shall try and remember to watch the F word, thanks for the notice

I did say it was just "ok"

It was certainly better than the first one Stan had me try

I wonder what that first one was then, the Halls are about the blandest one can get!

The haggis samosa at the weekend was splendid, I have to say. Want. More. Now.

Haggis curry? That's something that promises two of my favourite things. I want some. Now!
