Aye, its OK but there's haggis and haggis (same as anything), I'd feel cheated if it was served up on Burns night. Not that I'm that traditional about it all, and being married to a veggie when we do have a haggis (been a good few years now thinking about it) its a 'hippy' one. If I open a tin for a 'full Jock' breakfast if we've got guests round and have some slices of haggis the rest will be used to stuff chicken breasts for the next days dinner. Its a good chicken stuffer, especially when all wrapped in bacon or parma ham.
Oooh...haggis as a chicken stuffer. Hadn't thought of that! Yum yum.

I'm late to this party ... my porridge is going back to its savoury roots - I sprinkle it with linseed, pumpkin seeds and an Indian herb I was recently recommended called Ashwaganda.

And I love the sound of letting it set and frying up :mrgreen:

Tried this with my bacon and eggs this morning (made some extra porridge yesterday and let it set) it was lovely, thanks for the tip Jamesey.

It's good isn't it, it's also nice fried in butter and drizzled with honey. :)
