Title: Haggis and 80/- Tonight.
Post by: zirk on 24 January 2014, 19:01:19
Just committed myself to a night down the Local Wetherknives Pub with some mates for some Haggis and Beer, apparently there knocking out Caledonian 80/- Ale for £1.99 so hopefully more Beer than Haggis.  :y

Now, whilst I dont have a problem with the Beer, would be nice to know whats in the Haggis?

Sensible answers only please.  ::)

Hmmm, not keen on Black Pudding, will eat it if its on the plate but first choice, I had Haggis years back when I was on a Pub Crawl in Edinburgh but was so out of my box, cant remember much about it.  ::)

No idea, they brew it in Vats apparently before sticking it in smaller Barrels.

Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a sausage casing rather than an actual stomach.

Yours will of course have all sorts of offal things in it.

Still better than eating a kebab.............

Yep excellent Haggis, and a good night out, Chef who sometime has a Beer with us, wacked a fried egg on top of the Haggis, not sure if that a Scottish thing but really tasty.  ;)

Haggis, neeps & tatties and a Pint of Real Ale for £4.99 cant moan at that, thats not to say we only had one Beer of course.  :y

Blimey, that is good value. Last time I had a pint in England it was nearly that without food. Last time I had haggis was November 1978-in Scotland  , following the RAC rally around GB in the days when it was a proper rally and not a two day sprint.
