Calling my Scottish friends

[karohemd]

Thanks to the wonderful andrewdavies, I'm currently in the possession of a real haggis.
Trouble is, I don't actually know how exactly to cook it. Boil it? For how long? Slice and fry it?

Help, please!

I have never had a hagis, I hear horror stories though....can you critique it when you are done? :)

haggis is yummy! you can do it any of those ways or even slice it and microwave it, not sure on timings though...

I don't know why, but thinking haggis has reminded me of this story about cactus...

You are weird...

just remember to prick it well before boiling otherwise they explode - my parents did one years ago and it took hours to clean the kitchen ceiling

Sounds like the pressure cooker accident my mum had a number of years ago: Some chunk of beef with lots of caraway seeds which made nice little spots in circles on the white ceiling which in turn would soak through three layers of paint. My dad then installed a wood panel ceiling and the accident was finally forgotten. ;o)

Haggis is lovely

I find it is nicest when boiled (about 45 minutes to an hour), then cut open, fluffed up a bit with a fork, and a dollop of butter added. A cream and whisky/ pepper sauce can also be quite nice. Tatties and neeps to go with it, obviously, some nice Ardbeg or Caol Ila, and a Cranachan (sp?) to finish off the evening. I'm feeling hungry now...

I was hungry, otherwise I might have boiled it.
I was thinking about a whisky cream sauce as it's a bit dry but had used the rest of the cream in the mash.
