haggis for a 9 mo

[TracyK]

too spicy do you think??

no should be fine - would only give a little though as it's quite salty as well.
I want a haggis now!! Haven't had it for ages!

I would say too spicy.

I have a craving for haggis too - and I bought a nice turnip/swede from the market yesterday - so nothing beats haggis and turnip.
HV always says - feed lo's what you eat yourself - so maybe a little haggis for ds and lots for dh and I tonight.

ohhhh haggis neaps and tatties!! I wonder if the butcher is open today....... lol I have always given it to dd and she was fine with it

tesco and waitrose sell MacSweens haggis - they are just as good as butchers. and maybe sainsburys too. m&s version pretty good too.
I could be soooooo piggy and add a nice steak pie on the plate too.

just had it and it went down well with ds - poor girls at nursery tomorrow - who may get the first nappy!!

Could someone please explain what exactly the contents of haggis are - I will have a bucket at the ready as the very word makes me heave!

Found this on the net for you

1 sheep's lung (illegal in the U.S.; may be omitted if not available)
1 sheep's stomach
1 sheep heart
1 sheep liver
1/2 lb fresh suet (kidney leaf fat is preferred)
3/4 cup oatmeal (the ground type, NOT the Quaker Oats type!)
3 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup stock

I love them! I tend to bake them rather than boil them and serve them with a bit of whisky poured on top with mashed tatties and turnip. Yum!

Yup - thought I'd need that bucket - my fears have been confirmed!
I take my hat off to all you who can stomach it!

Have a look here

What makes you heave?? Haggis is the most delicious thing on the planet when made with neaps and tatties!

Agree with yuo Zeph! They are wonderful and I'm not even a scot! MIL always brings me a Mcsweens when she visits us......haggis relief!

All that offal Zephyr! Might be able to manage the vegetarian type though if pushed!

I don't think they're made quite as gruesomely these days as they were traditionally.
Could be wrong though - still soooooo yummy!!
What about all the burgers made from lips'n'bums???!!!!

Yuk, yuk, yuk!

I can't stomach the thought of eating offal (sp?). It's disgusting!!!!!

DS has been fine with all spices since well before 9 months - other than chilli, which I havent tried yet. I love haggis. Just watch out for the salt.

Those of you who say you couldnt stomach it - it's just the idea that puts you off! I bet if you didn't know what was in it you'd love it - it's delicious!

babies love spicy food IME .. but I would've thought that haggis was too salty for a 9 month old

well ds had leftovers for dinner tonight and he loved it - he also slept 13 hours last night - so maybe it's a miracle food. Mashed it all up with loads of potato and turnip - so hopefully not too salty.

Hi,
just thought i'd add my ds now 18 months has been eating haggis with us since he started on solids at 8 months,he's very healthy and he loves it !
