The other day I finally got around to cooking and eating it. After removing the outer packaging and inner packaging I was faced with this:
The instructions said I could either oven it for 45 minutes, boil it for 45 minutes or microwave it for 8 minutes. Being both a modern man and a lazy man I opted for the microwave approach. This involved having to cut the haggis up into slices:
...slapping it in the microwave...
...and, after 8 minutes, removing the now cooked haggis:
Then came the scary part. Actually eating it! It was quite nutty and stodgy although I think I only managed to finish one slice of it... Don't get me wrong Dougsy, I certainly appreciate the gesture but vegetarian haggis is one thing that is being put on my "I've tried it once, and only once" list. Cheers though!

it kind of defeats the object of being a haggis though, being a vegetable, since it is all supposed to be offal and sheeps stomach lining, with a bit of oats for flavour
Yas! Most folk would have politely binned it! Oan yersel ya radgie gadgie!
Shoetree - were a civilised country now. Many people wait until after breakfast to start drinking :)
nowt wrong with a port for breakfast
you lost the fun of stabbing it with a knife and seeing its entrails gush out. It takes a bit longer than the microwave but heating in the oven is just as easy.
And if you had it with neeps and tatties and some gravy it would have been less heavy. Just had it last night and everyone - including the Catalans - loved it!
