Gert,  love this thread and sure would enjoy your Haggis.  Have had real Haggis at a Bobby Burns night , held in the local hall.  As new comers we only got in on a cancellation.  Lots of poetry, dancing and H ;Haggis. 
Gert,  think of you each morning as i am enjoying Kidneys on SD toast.  ;D

It looks very nice if you like that type of food.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Looks great Gert. My DH is jealous. You did a good job even without the neeps. ;D

The Bruichladdich distillery is about 2 k up the road from  DH's cousins farm on Islay. There used to be 7 distilleries  on the island but not sure if they are all still there.

I must do haggis on the 25th for Burns night.

You will no doubt be able to find one in Perth easier than Cairns. The Thermomix was a great way to cook it.

The scottish white pudding , non meat version would be a good substitute for vegetarian haggis so long as it is prepared with vegetable fat/suet so no animal fat.
It's very similar in taste because of the spicing and oatmeal. Called mealy pudding in the north east.
They even sell it battered in the fish and chip shops and with chips its called a white pudding supper.
The tinned vegetarian haggis sounds revolting.  :o

I used to love white pudding (in my meat eating days) - my aunt up on the Isle of Lewis used to make the best one ever!  I didn't know there was a vegetarian version available, though.
