Just been reliably informed by my 3 dogs that haggis is by far the best food in the world

In fact one of them just said that "it's what they would eat in the wild"

They are now hunting in the kitchen, 2 are hunting haggis on the floor, and I just found one on the work top hunting haggis behind the toaster

I have also learnt that border collies are too big to go on the work tops

Alistair, you paint a good picture. 
I suspect the haggis are canny and keep running away from them.

I just have never seen them so very very exited by a single food, it's just the best, they all love their food but not like this, they're still in the kitchen, searching

Mind it was nice haggis, really peppery, took me ages to catch it this morning

[Alistair]

Is the plural of haggis, haggises or haggi?

[Mammyshaz]

  the haggis will never be safe again, in your house!

[doganjo]

It's Haggi Alistair.  How on earth did you catch it?  They are very elusive, and those three legs really mean they can tear about the countryside at a high rate of knots.  My dogs love Haggis too, they don't usually get lucky though because I do too  .

[Alistair]

I caught it using the traditional method doganjo, using a sprout in lieu of the more traditional bait,

(If you've got it to hand, igor von pressenburgers 1694 publication, der scotlanders haggi dans der Morgan, page 1654, diagram 3)

Neeps and tatties are better

Sensible dogs  I love haggis.

[deepinthewoods]

could someone reccomend a proper supplier who would post a (preferably dead) one down here for me? cos ive never tried it and have always wanted too!

[happygolucky]

I adore Haggis.......and after Burns night loads of reduced ones as I belive they are bred for that particular night, I love the veggie version and believe they are made from Haggis fed only on veg 

[doganjo]

Try your local butcher DitW, they might have friends up here who can tell them how to get them.  Might even be able to rear them on your smallholding - now there's a money maker 

[deepinthewoods]

i thought they only lived in the highlands? and were untameable? im not sure id cope with raisng them down here, the air might be too salty.
 
i can get haggis from the supermarket, but id prefer the real thing.

[Alistair]

Mcmessiers almanac of 1892 refers to 'highland haggis farming, grasses and seeds', page 432 is interesting, you could try that, salt does indeed causes immaciation in the kits (according to dr j.b. mcready, haggis and their environs, 1899' p 125' table 4, I prefer the wild ones however, and the hand spun blue wool/ sweet corn method is one of y favourites

see, i knew i was right
