We usually buy up all the leftovers from the supermarket and eat it all year.

Have you got Scottish genes?

I had a great breakfast this morning. No haggis, but:

Beans, toast, hash brown, tattie scone, 2 black pudding, bacon, lorne sausage.

Not that I know of. 

I did work in Glasgow for a couple of years and got used to eating it with my fried breakfast in the hotel.

I got a veggie haggis today. Looking forward to having it with some roasties.

These pies are the business! I get them in Aldi and always have a stock of them in my freezer!

We have a canteen at work. My standard brekkie is a granary roll, two slices of bacon, a wodge of haggis and a sausage. If I'm feeling a bit peckish, two sausages. All helped down with a fresh-ground mocha coffee.

Yum, fucking, yum.

I'd never eat anything that contains lungs.

I reckon if as part of the independence package Salmond had promised to drop the pretence to the rest of Britain that Scottish people actively enjoy haggis then he would have won be a landslide.

haggis (well, and the rain and the midges) is the reason more scots live outside of Scotland*

made up statistic, may not be true.

Not everything that breathes, smokes. You may just get that impression from living in Margate.

Good call on having granary bread with it - much healthier than white bread.

I LOVE the stuff and it's one of the few examples of the veggie version tasting as good as the meaty one (if you find the offal awful).

A cooked breakfast isn't complete without haggis.

Living in Edinburgh, I have limitless options for consuming it in restaurants: Pub: Haggis fritters? Yum. Mexican: Haggis burritos? Awesome. Indian: Haggis Samosas? Delicious! 

THIS is my guilty pleasure though- Italian: second one down, haggis pizza:

My three year old adores it too- they serve it at nursery regularly & she wolfs it down.

Lorne sausage is ace.When I lived in Edinburgh we always used to pick some up from the co-op after a night out at opium.

Anyone know if you can actually get them down south?

Just had to Google Lorne sausage.. does it differ much from regular sausage, other than the shape?

Quite a different taste, which could be due to a proportion of beef in it. It also cooks a bit differently due to the shape.

Mcsweens veggie haggis ftw

I'm a fan too. Less impressed with the Tesco shopping online app which said this was out of stock so would I like some ( regular) black pudding instead?
