As its tradition to eat Haggis tomorrow night i wonder, best to boil whole or slice & fry?
As a vegetarian I'm not the best placed to answer, but I thought you steamed them?
Bake.
Broil.
Bin.
Boil ...
TBH, I normally chop it up and heat it in the microwave but for a special occasion, when you want the whole pluck, I'd boil it.

Veggie haggis is magnificent. Grab it while the going is good as its not that often seen in the shops south of the border for the rest of the year.
Done one in the microwave before now but it wasn't so nice - best to pop it in the pan then.
Not eating bloody turnips though, pig food that is!
A vegetarian friend gave me a veggie haggis as he knows I'll try anything.
Don't remember what brand it was but it was VILE!
Turns out he gave it to me because even he thought it was disgusting.

South of the border you'd be wanting swede, not turnip (don't start that discussion.....)

Tick!
For every day haggis we just micro it. Works perfectly and doesn't dry it too much.
Boiling is a faff, especially if you have small hob occupied with big pots of neeps and tatties.
Microwave. Never had a problem. I think there's one nestling in the fridge right now!

You need a proper butcher then. Or is this the Essex/Cambridgeshire border you're talking about?
I read that it has been banned in the US for a long time, strange when you consider what they put into their beef..
in the oven in a tray of water.
then crumbled and stirred into spaghetti with olive oil. yum.
Not eating swede either - have a real aversion to certain root vegetables! Beetroot/turnips/swedes are for livestock as far as I'm concerned.

It's a regular product at Waitrose - and is on offer ATM.
It's good shit (as it were)
Mm, haggis spaghetti sounds good!
veggie haggis is a oxymoron. If it has no sheep offal in it its somethig else entirely
Slice and grill for breakfast. For burns size steam or microwave
Best way is to kill it with fire.

Slice it and microwave it..........nice and easy.
And it has to be Cockburns from Dingwall!!

Haggis Lasagne is a culinary fusion worth trying. First time I went all haggis and it didn't quite work, but 50:50 minced beef and haggis is brilliant.
Out with work tomorrow - wonder if I can find a restaurant doing it as a special......
Broil, then fry.
Boil then bake.
Guilty pleasure alert - battered and deep fried - guilty pleasure alert
Tandem Jeremy is also an oxymoron 
lol at sweepy
Rob - the "oxy" is redundant surely?
Tandemjeremy is also a french DJ 😯
Boil, on this occasion. But you can do loads of more interesting things with it.
Cubed and baked in the oven.
Break it up and bake it. Gives some crispy bits, very nice!
Burns night is all too commercialised now.
Burns night
I think you mean "Happy Haggis Day", which always follows "See you Jimmy Eve"

I was referring to the availability vegetarian haggis - you local butchers are big on that are they? 🙂

It's the fact that the shops have "Och aye the noo!" merchandising in for months beforehand that gets me. It just loses it's real meaning.

When I was a kid they called it Guy Fawkes Night but burns night is more descriptive isn't it.
"You know what they've got now? Devil's Night greeting cards! Isn't that precious?"
It's ridiculous our local butcher has haggis in since at least 1995.
Boil it, then break it up and stick it in a toastie with some grated cheese and an onion or chilli chutney.
For Burn's night, go traditional and boil it.
Personally I just slice and fry for a 'normal' meal - it's cooked already so whatever method you choose you're just heating it up...
Shepherds pie with a 5050 mince and haggis.
Layered mince on the bottom haggis on top.
Loaaaaads of cheese in the mash.
Brown sauce to taste.
McSweens is probably the brand of choice for those of a vegetarian persuasion. It's surprisingly tasty, lentils, oats and spiciness.
I prefer mine traditional and still squealing, fresh from Pirie's in Newtyle, Angus.
Place haggis in large pan with salt, water, clean housebrick. Boil for 2 hours. Throwaway haggis and eat brick.
I can recommend haggis nachos too. Just replace the chilli...
