Its not right to hunt haggis .
They have only little legs and can't run very fast .There's not much sport in them really. Its best not to kill them until the numbers recover and we get a sustainable free range organic population of haggi.
You know it makes sence.There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

As a Scot in Scotland who's very proud of my heritage, I had a lovely ham salad dish tonight for supper!!! Since it's only me eating by the time I get home, I didn't bother with haggis, although I think you can get little ones nowadays.
I have had a couple of drams tonight though

Originally posted by Sirius View PostActually that's a fairy tale. The truth is they have 2 long legs on one side of their body, and 2 short legs on the other side. This allows them to run incredibly fast on hilly terrain without falling over. It's damn difficult to catch them, which is why we now have vegetarian haggis to choose from - it's nothing to do with not eating meat and everything to do with not catching haggi.

There seems to be some confusion about the exact positioning of the short and long legs, I will admit. But let's face it, until you catch one, you won't know for sure“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.”

As an aside Shirl, I could recommend Donald Russell who do online ordering. They're a fab Scots butcher. Their black and white pudds are lovely too...
