Most of our equine stock goes to Belgium and France.  There are so many un-wanted horses in the UK that Princess Ann suggested the same earlier this year on Country File, put them into the food chain.  I ate it years ago, like beef only sweeter. Don't think I would eat horse meat now  ........ even if it's 'bred for the table'.

Now Haggis is another matter - is it the season yet   

[Joyce]

Always the season, you've just got to catch one!    January  is best time of year though.

Becuase they turn white and disappear into snow drifts then    .......... fried or boiled ?

[Joyce]

Boiled for me.

I've heard tell of deep fried haggis - does it really exist?

[Joyce]

Chip shops I think do them.

[Limpy]

Does it taste good?

[CLKD]

…….. I'm not going to try it ……… in case 

[Joyce]

Have had black pudding deep fried but never haggis.

[CLKD]

Used to eat a lot of black and white pudding ….. then it got too greasy for me.  Haslett is tasty too. I suppose when caught, the haggis is similar?  ………..

Tonight was locally grown rare breed pig roasted with home grown veggies.

Wow CG - deep fried black pudding - did deep frying improve it?

Deep fried haggis is ok.....once  .  Boiled for me too with neeps and tatties.

Don't know why but could never knowingly eat a horse. I was the pony mad child and got to go a bit more pony mad when my kids were learning to ride.
I know that there are good reasons why it's sensible....Just not for me.

My daughter said she tried black eye the other night.....Anyone know what it is.

Answers on a post card .....

Maybe a weird beer/ale. Many strange ones out there.

Oh I loved a black pudding supper. Probably a years worth of cholesterol in it mind you. Can't eat now as both black pud & batter have milk in.

...the only black eye I know are a type of bean!
