Haggis, Neepes and Tatties




After a long day of driving around the Isle of Skye, we decided that we would go to the pub for dinner. This afforded Daniel the opportunity to put his money where his mouth is, and try some Haggis. This was a bit of a risk given that Monique had made it quite clear that if it was disgusting, Daniel wasn’t getting any of her chips!

For those who don’t know, Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish containing a sheep's heart, liver and lungs, and simmered in the animals stomach lining for three hours.

Overall, it is fair to say that the experience was worthwhile. The Skye Pub served it with Neeps (Turnips) and Tatties (Potatoes). The Haggis tasted a bit like mince, but with more spice. Daniel didn’t gag, and didn’t need any of Monique’s chips.

Three stars.
