Still, I love haggis in almost all its guises...

It is an ancient recipe and was eaten by kings and paupers (when Scotland had a king). The thing is you can get excellent vegetarian options. DONT EVER buy tinned haggis that is just a sin. Our chip shops all sell in batter. I've even had it served with pasta in a spicy tomato sauce. Please try it! I LOVE haggis but undertand why people might not like ofal.

Strange the things some people find disgusting, others love! Pille: Wow - nice to know that Olive magazine has a good overseas circulation - I didn't know that! And thanks for noticing me, too!

Now, black pudding on the other hand... love at first bite!!

It tastes great and I can't see why it has a stigma around it. Sure, it contains offal - but then the stuff that goes in a chicken nugget is far worse! Antonia: I’m a big fan of haggis.

Most of those who 'don't like haggis', have never actually tried it. Delicious stuff, I think. I love it served like this - the sauce sounds perfect to me. Have hardly had haggis since moving back down South (was in Edinburgh for 5 years) - must seek some out! You have hit the nail on the head.

I think I need to get into the habit of explaining what I'm actually doing a bit more - not everyone knows the same things as me (most people know a lot more!). I'm not so sure if telling people what's in haggis <em>before</em> they try it will help convince them though! We Are Never Full: That’s a good point.

It's quite good with a fillet steak but I really can't imagine where else it would work! Lydia (The Perfect Pantry): I’ve tried the sauce with other things, too.
