Haggis
I live overseas & have some UK friends here in January & will be hosting a big Burns Night (again).
My friends will be getting the haggis for me..... can anyone recommend a supplier that does good haggis that is easy to get hold of? I notice that a lot of blind taste award winners these days are places like Aldi etc, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...S-Harrods.html. Does the same go for haggis? I see a lot of forums mention Macsween.... |

We have reviewed both Macsween's regular haggis and the vegi option at Foodstuff Finds, and both went down really well. Very innovative packaging too! They are available online from Ocado and within Waitrose and well worth a try.

I'm no expert, but I've always enjoyed Macsween - its readily availble too!
Being a heathen I just nuke mine in a microwave for a few minutes (packaging will say how long) but you can also slice 'n fry it or go really oldschool and boil it for about an hour! It freezes well too.

Mrs CB and I often have a Simon Howie"s as an alternative to a Sunday roast when its just the two of us. Sometimes baked in oven or boiled in bag. Available from Sainsburys all year round and I think Tesco does it.

Re- Malt Whisky, how about Jura or Old Pulteney, Glen Elgin also nice. Drop some hints OP
![]() ![]() Had never heard of it before & was the best drop I've ever had. Darn- I should write these things down. Will have to get a request to the UK- all you can get here is Johnny Walker or Glenfiddich.... |

I had some 'stuff' last year that began with L, IIRC. Was somewhat refreshed & can't remember the name. Wasn't Laphroaig

Lagavulin is an excellent choice to go with haggis. Biggest problem is that it's very "morish" and quite easy to consume a little more than you intended (which may well be why you couldn't remember the name from your previous experience).
