Haggis have u seen one?

Question

if been told that haggis can be found and that thay are hunted .is it true ?.

if its true what do thay look like?.

Answer 1

A haggis is a hairy beast,

with one leg longer than t'other,

on sheeps inards it does feast,

but why the long leg, you wonder?

simply so it can move itself,

easily around mountains

and also hills, and things

moving in a circular motion.

I hope you know now,

the origin of the haggis.

but while the haggis is a hairy beast,

its also a scotsmans favourate treat!

Answer 2

Yes, they can be found at butchers shops or on supermarket shelves, particularly in Scotland where they originate from.They are round  or oblong, and brown and hairless. They are "hunted" (as "in great demand ") by the Scots that live elsewhere in UK as they are rare there and usually only appear on the shelves around Burns' night, which is on January the 25th.

It will also tell you about all the far-fetched stories of furry creatures with short legs...

Answer 3

If you are serious then, they are taking the p!ss out of you

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish.

There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.

Haggis somewhat resembles stuffed intestines (pig intestines otherwise known as chitterlings or the kokoretsi of traditional Greek cuisine), sausages and savoury puddings of which it is among the largest types. As the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique puts it, "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour."

Answer 4

Haggis - An under-rated food.This Cymro loves a quality made haggis.MMMMMMMMMMM.

Answer 5

I used to have one, but it got of its chain in the night.

Answer 6

aie, hairy wee timid beasts wi one leg longer than the other tae walk roond hills so they rrrrrrrr

Answer 7

yes its small n spikybig eyes n tiny wee feet, runs around the hills shouting gawd its freezin oot here. lol

Answer 8

No one has ever lived to tell the tale. They are dark mysterious beasties related to Nessie and around Burn's night they can be heard laughing hysterically in the mist covered Glens as Jock toasts what he thinks is the Haggis.. The sound o the pipes swirls roond these wee puddins (which are actually the cr*ap off the butcher's floor). The poor wee Haggis lives to laugh another day!!

Answer 9

Haggis are small  furry creatures that lie in the Scots.Highlands, a bit like a cross between a small goat and a guinea pig. They live on the steep sides of mountains and the legs on the left side of their body are shorter than on the right side in order to help them balance on this steep and rugged terrain.

Because of this they are slow runners if you chase them anticlockwise around the mountain as they balance on the wrong legs, and they are now an endangered species due to hunters discovering this technique and playing  on the poor creatures disadvantaged leg status.

It is said you can lull them with the call of the bagpipes, a bit like the Pied Piper of Hamlyn, and they seem to be particularly responsive to the traditional scottish tune of "Waggle O' The Kilt".

Answer 10

I spotted one only the other day.

He was moving slowly through the undergrowth of my local woods.

Unfortunately, the haggis season doesn't start until November, or I would have shot him and had him for supper.

As to appearance, they are rather like an obese rat, with short legs and an ungainly gait, and easy to hunt. No challenge at all, which is why they are so commonly available in Scottish butcher's shops (they being a particular nuisance in Scotland, as well as being thought of as "tasty" there, though not in most other places).

Answer 11

Was it a right or left handed haggis?.You can tell by looking at their legs. If the legs on the left side are longer then it's a right handed beastie and can only run round the mountains in a clockwise direction.

Answer 12

I have seen many of them running wild at night. stay away from them

Answer 13

Haggis is sheep's stomach stuffed with oatmeal, the sheep's heart, liver, and lungs, onion, suet, spices and salt mixed with stock. I have a can of it if you'd like to buy it. I wouldn't eat it though cuz it's way past its expiration date. Or if you want fresher haggis, find a Scottish heritage store like where I got my haggis from.  

Answer 14

If you are serious you are having your leg pulled. Haggis is a Scottish

delicacy. You stuff a sheep's stomach with oatmeal and the rest of the

sheep's innards and good Scotch and boil it. Then when it is cool you slice it and fry it with egg, bacon, tomato ,mushroms and fried bread. Yummy.

Answer 15

oh aye but you chase them up mountains,you see their legs are shorter on one side than the other so they can only run up the mountain,,when you chase them to the top they can't run back down and fall over,roll all the way down and that's how you catch them !!

They're pretty fierce and not easy to tame though,make lousy pets !!!
