    3. Hi all, I felt I have to comment on this thread re Haggis. Haggis, tatties and neeps (Potatoes and Turnip or Swede) is one of the tastiest things you will ever eat. Forget all this nonsense about lungs, sheep's innards and stomachs and oesophagus's. I get my Haggis in Hawick in Roxburghshire from Mr Lindsay Grieve the butcher, on the High Street, he makes a 'Champion Haggis' and has won various awards for his Haggis recipe. I have watched him make it and there are no oesophagus hanging out of the pan, or sheep's lungs, (and you can get it in a 'natural' bag or a synthetic one, the choice is yours) maybe they did that in the olden days, but they certainly don't do it now! I would be the first person to go yuck at the thought of Haggis (I couldn't put Tripe near my mouth for instance) but when a portion of Haggis, Tatties and Neeps is laid before you on a cold Scottish winters night, it goes down an absolute treat. I'm sure Mr Lindsay Grieve sends his Haggis abroad, try googling his name, order one, try it, then come back here and tell me it wasn't absolutely beautiful - and I'll eat my hat!!!
