Cook a Haggis

Ed ~ Small tip for cooking neaps is to add a spoon of honey/sugar while it's cooking, and choose a neap that has been frosted in the field - seemingly the frost converts the starch into sugar.

The haggis is a traditional Scottish dish memorialised as the national dish of Scotland by Robert Burns' poem Address to a Haggis in 1787. Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: swede, yellow turnip or rutabaga and potatoes, boiled and mashed separately) and a "dram" (i.e. a glass of Scotch whisky), especially as the main course of a Burns supper. However it is also often eaten with other accompaniments, or served with a whisky-based sauce.
