I say break with tradition, it's good to have variety. Besides I just had Turkey to last me a year.

I understand that to a Scotsman, there's nothing more festive than a good haggis, except, of course, slaughtering the sheep in preparation for the meal. I've honestly never had the dubious "pleasure" of "enjoying" haggis.
But thank you for sharing. I'm filing the haggis recipe under the "Must Try When I'm So Drunk That I'll Never Remember, Even When They Show the Video" section in my recipe card file.
Love, Scully

Scully,

I'm a Scottish person, and I would say that the only way to enjoy a haggis (whatever the holiday) is to catch it yourself, then cook
it over an open fire. I would recommend camping out in the Northwest Heeluns, say the Torridon mountain area. You MUST be ready
by dawn. Keep well camouflaged (see my profile pic) and, with luck, you may spot a sleepy haggis or two emerge from the heather.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THEY CAN BE SEEN! Creep up slowly and silently (from the rear of the haggis), then pounce! After a bit
of practice, you should, by the end of a week or so, catch your very own haggis. Good luck!
TIP: You will soon find out how slippery a haggis can be, so I would recommend a good pair of Marigolds (rubber gloves), but, whatever
you do, do NOT use the bright pink ones as these will startle the haggis and you will have no chance of catching your first haggis.

Spanner:
Thank you so very much for the haggis-trapping hints. Since haggis is extinct in Canada, I will let you know next time I'm making a trip to the UK, and we'll arrange to go haggis-snagging together! I'll bring my own "marigolds". We'll post pictures of our adventures here on JWD so everyone else can enjoy them too.
Love, Scully

TH's recipe for Vindaloo is spot on, I prefer it with king prawns instead of chicken though. Mm, shrimps to the Yanks? Plus, of course, these!
BOMBAY DUCK!!!
Scully, haggis is absolutely sublime, it can be very dry though, so you may prefer it with gravy. BTW, pluck = sheeps stomach bag.

LOL, Scully
Hey, how about haggis vindaloo!
Recipe:
1. Combine Trauma_Hound's and Spanner's posts, above.
2. Locate a "buy one loo roll, get one loo roll free" supermarket to combat the after-effects.
