It maybe slightly too late for Burns Night (January 25th) but you can still catch your own wild Haggis if you dare to venture up to the chilly moorlands of bonny Scotland when the wild Haggis are least expecting a culling session. Wild Haggis are as fast as and as temperamental as a snappy little dog, so beware. They do taste better however and have rarely been known to bother postmen.
First seek oot the best of Scottish moorlands where the grass and heather grow woozily above the secret underground Scotch Whisky distilleries. This combination of man and nature gives the best whisky infused vegetation from which the Haggis feed.
The get yerself a medium sized net and sprinkle it with pepper from Aberdeen to disguise the human smells. Dress yerself oot in all green attire and practise crawling for miles and miles on all fours. Training in the SAS can help.
Eat only the best Shortbread biscuits and deep fried Mars Bars for a year and you are ready to snare a yummy Haggis. Remember only to hunt at night, all alone and ignore the braying of stags at bay or performance poets out in all weathers quoting Burns and ye will be successful. Other than that Sainsburys have a few left in aisle fifteen.

Crivvens, help ma Bob!
As always, your blog left me with a big smile on my face.i loved the eat Scottish Shortbread & deep fried Mars Bars bit.....I'd love to try the latter. Haggis, no thanks. tried it once & it was (to use our Grandson's favourite expression, with the emphasis as he says it)) "DisGUSting".
Christopher I have no idea what that means but I suppose your little comment meant something Scottish.
Karen: Not keen then? I might well try some one day.
