But - but - but where is the gravy?

You actually eat haggis without gravy?



Haggis should be served in a soup plate, haggis in the middle with mashed 'tayto and neap - both well creamed and buttered - to act as retaining walls, then pour on a thick rich, but unseasoned, gravy.

The haggis spices up the bland elements, the gravy tones down the taste impact of the haggis.

Cheers!

Looking good, and nice pix.

Did you say free drinks for being kilted?

At the first event, there was gravy but the potatoes were not mashed. At the second event there was mashed 'tayto and neap - both well creamed and buttered - but no gravy. So between the two of them, York got it right?

I agree with you, that your bucket looks good with the waistcoat. Attractive lass you have there, laddie!

[Pleater]

Alas - I would say that neither gave the haggis the best possible accompaniment.

Scooping up gravy soaked haggis alternating the addition of mashed potatoes and neaps - sigh.

Though the gravy does need to have half a shoulder of lamb, carrots, celery, half an onion, a couple of potatoes, and a long slow simmer before liquidising and thickening with a roux.

There is no wonder that some people think they do not like haggis.
