Mrs GTD Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 So how do you cook your haggis? And is it mashed potatoes & mashed swede with it? Anything else? And what should we drink with it? This haggis is proving complicated... Mrs GTD Carbonette - patches that make it easy to say NO to carbon fibre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossybee Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Haggis, neeps & tatties neeps = turnip tatties = potatoes Both should be mashed (or chappit) Let me find a decent website for you Sssssssssssssssssssssssssscottish Sssssssssssssssssssssupersnot!!! here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thanks! But, is what you call a turnip in Scotland what we in the South call a swede? GTD's family call swedes turnips, which caused much confusion for along time. Swedes are the brown ones with pale, apricoty coloured insides, and turnips are the smaller white & green ones with white insides.

rossybee Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Was only jokin ref son's name I assume it's vegetarian haggis? cos normal haggis contains meat 😳 Sssssssssssssssssssssssssscottish Sssssssssssssssssssssupersnot!!! here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Yup - veggie variety - but I used to love the meat variety when I was a meat eater. This one sounds good though - lots of scrummy ingredients in it. I'll take the advice on the website you mentioned and simmer it, rather than cook it in the oven or 'nuke' it in the microwave! Do you recommend a wee dram with it? Or a pint of Stella?

FH Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hello Mrs GTD If you possess a steamer (which I would presume you do, 'cos it's the best way of preserving vitamins and minerals in veggie cooking)... you'll find the casing of the haggis is less likely to split during the cooking process Casings used to be made from unmentionable parts taken from the interior of a fluffy-wuffy-sheepy thing and were quite strong - there is no suitable alternative for a vegetarian casing, so it'll be made from some unmentionable non-animal-derived material and have a greater propensity to fail in its prophylactic duties 😬 FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Oo-er! The wrapping on the haggis says to wrap in foil & simmer for 45 mins, bake in the oven in a casserole with a little water or nuke! As microwaving is definitely not a Dixon household preferred method of cooking I asked the Sheds for advice, as I wanted the most authentic way of cooking possible. If the skins are fragile I guess wrapping in foil & steaming would be the best option. I could steam the potaoes & swedes too - much nicer than boiling if making mash. I'll post again tomorrow to let you know how the fragile prophylactic copes 😬 BTW - do you read the Sunday Times? I tried the recipe for Fennel Risotto last night - absolutely gorgeous!
