Haggis pie…
Anyone else make it? It’s really nothing, and something I knocked up for a laugh as someone was running late. Since then, friends and family keep asking for it. Large rectangular oven dish, layer of haggis on the bottom, layer of mushy peas, then a decent mash topping, browned off ( ala cottage pie) in the oven and served with onion gravy.
That is all. Thankyou and goodnight.

I use left over haggis and spare potatoes to make what I call a Haggis Herder's Pie (i.e. shepherds pie using haggis rather than mince). I use a chicken stock for liquid (as beef will be too strong and commercial lamb stocks seem to contain mint) - I've from the school of the scotch is drunk along side, not poured over.

That’s a great name for it.

He's been watching too much Nigel Slater. Who always has 'leftover' champagne and caviar in the fridge.

Sometimes make a haggis, or white pudding, pastry. Lovely.

Haggis neeps and tatties layered up is perfectly acceptable in a dish.

Neeps on base haggis in middle and mash potato on top.
You can add scottish yellow cheddar on top as well if you like.

Haggis lasagne works very well. Make lasagne as normal just substitue haggis for the beef mince.

My wife's "haggis pie” is one of my favourite dishes. Haggis, double cream, leeks and spinach wrapped in pastry. More a Wellington than a pie - also works well with veggie haggis for those so inclined.

Veggie haggis works really well as a pakora or samosa filling.

Veggie haggis is just wrong.

I do like the sound of that, although can never think of a time I’ve eaten haggis & peas together before.

Around us the next town over tends to serve gravy or mince alongside haggis which is quite nice, I’m thinking a hybrid shepherd/headers pie sounds tasty!

On the alternative uses, leftover haggis works very well as a pizza topping covered in cheese. Or just reheated for breakfast with fried eggs

Ours is always offered with an onion gravy alongside.

Whisky sauce is much better.
Whisky, (use one you would actually drink)
Beef gravy and cream. Thicken and serve. lick

Have seen us just pour near whisky on it,

I also do the same with porridge in the morning (occasionally not every day!)

Haggis with mushy peas? My initial thoughts were, straight red & five match ban, but on VAR review it might actually work.

Haggis burritos are incredible.

Yes to the haggis, neeps and tattie pie - especially with the neeps as the bottom layer. That's the sort of attention to detail that matters.

i make a chicken pie, or a chicken and ham or chicken and mushroom pie and then add an entire haggis to it. Need to have a slightly thinner sauce in the chicken pie because the haggis soaks a lot of it up, but my other half loves it.
