Posts: 3,540I normally go haggis hunting, but had practically forgotten this season til one of my Scottish friends reminded me. 
The wee beasties seem to be highly elusive for me this year, but I finally bagged one late last night....
http://haggishunt.scotsman.com/camera.cfm?camera=1 Join in the fun 
I love to see the different views of Scotland, and its great fun when you've spotted a haggis....believe me, you can't miss 'em 
This is cool! 
I found three of them.....including a golden one! 
It's fun to see the webcam pictures in places such as these.......
Posts: 3,540Wow Tracy! That's great 
I know many are concerned for the wee beasties http://www.flyinghaggis.co.uk/haggis/save.htm but this version of 'hunting' does them no harm at all
Sunnie Bearswhat is a haggis?
Delartful BearsI thought it was a bird - that link has me confuzzled (confused)
Danni
Past Time Bearswhat is a haggis?
Trust me . . . you really don't want to know!!!! 
Posts: 3,540What is a haggis?? 
The wee fellow in the header there is a haggis! If you look through the various cameras, you just might see one! Look at the link I gave above in my first post.
....and some people thought it was sheep's stomach stuffed with oats and barley
ToadBriarI don't wanna hunt for haggis for fear of finding some 
Dunno why someone would cook up a sheep's stomach to eat, when there are much more
delicious parts of sheepses to eat, like the wool or the hooves..... 
Posts: 3,540I know, I have a friend from Iceland who was telling me a sheep's head was considered the delicacy...and I'm thinking "what's happened to the rest of it?? You know, the edible parts??" :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
I tried some when I was in Scotland on holidays, just tasted like savoury mince...
WienI didn´t know that something like a haggis hunt existed!
Remembering the old days when the left overs from animals were delicassees to most of the people in a poor country that was exploited, is quite a good idea. And arranging it with Robert Burn´s Ode to a haggis makes a real cool even....but still...I cannot eat it and I cannot even smell it... :redface:
But I always loved the Burn´s nights that I had the honor to be invited to.
I guess haggis is an attitude to life.
Enjoy your haggis everyone!

WienSue Ann, LOL, I had to giggle, cause I had the same words in mind, when reading Sonya´s post :crackup:
But then again: do we wanna know what´s in a sausage? Or in a hamburger? Or in....errrrrrm....cheeses! We better never find out!
Gaby
Posts: 3,540....oh yes, I'd forgotten about 'headcheese'! 
Nah, I'll stick to my 'sausages' and never mind what's in them 
Don't forget ...haggis hunting ends on Burn's Night...which is this Friday I believe? So just a few more days of the season left 
Vegetarian haggis is really nice.Its what I will be having on friday with mashed tumshee (I think you call them swede).
Its got all the taste of haggis minus the animal parts.
I have been veggie for almost forty years now and still find it weird the things people put in their mouths .
Wiennettie, honestly, I deffinitely CANNOT imagine, that anything tastes like haggis....specially if it is not meat
...and I wonder, how veggy haggis is made- must be sort of vegetarian müesli, but in what do you boil it??? Vegetarian sheep stomach? :crackup:
Gaby - no burn´s night here- no haggis
Funny how "haggis" kind of rhymes with "gag us"... Sorry, everyone. I have just heard that it doesn't taste very good, and I wouldn't want anything to do with the sheep's stomach or other parts. Diane's version would be the only one I would venture to try! (And Diane, yours is probably quite tasty.) I'll steer clear of all those other animal parts you've all mentioned, too! Now, chocolate, on the other hand...
