Robert burns night offerings at M&S Food and review

After missing out on Robert Burns night offerings last year at M&S Food I made a note and remembered this year!

The range includes a haggis cheese bake, neeps and tatties centrepiece, haggis scotch egg and haggis.

My picks were definitely the haggis cheese bake and the neeps and tatties but unfortunately the neeps and tatties portion was rather big.

It would be great if they made a ready meal version.

First things first, I bought the haggis cheese bake which went wonderfully well with oatcakes.

The instructions are to bake it in the oven but I found it quicker in the microwave for 40 seconds.

After indulging the haggis cheese bake, I got the neeps and tatties centre piece which I had over a few days and it was seriously worth it.

I cheated by heating it in the microwave, it just means you don't get a crispy top.

The whiskey gravy was a little heavy and sweet with the mustard seeds but overall it was delicious but even better with the M&S lamb gravy.

Although, I have already reviewed Haggis Scotch egg, the 2023 version was different because it was a soft set egg instead of a hard boiled one which took it to the next level.

[Review] Simon Howie Haggis and Vegetarian finds

I love Haggis so I used to have it at restaurants.

Anyway due to the current situation the supermarket and kitchen are now your best friends.

Haggis is a dish containing sheep's 'internal organs' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach.

Due to availability and convenience some are prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach.

Most haggis are served with "neeps and tatties" (Scottish: swede, yellow turnip, boiled and mashed).

The Simon Howie Haggis was really good but just a tad salty so overall I recommend it.
