Poetic help for those cooking a Haggis for their Burn’s Supper this evening

With thanks to Simple Simon’s Pies for the following words of advice, and apologies to everyone else!

Cooking haggis is quite a caper,

Wrap him first in greaseproof paper.

Then, of course, you really ought’er

Have a pot of boiling water

Into which you softly place

This chieftain o’ the puddin’ race.

Turn the gas a little dimmer,

For thirty minutes gently simmer

Then serve him steaming hot and frisky

With a turnip and a glass of whisky.

A word of warning ere you feast

The haggis is a gentle beast,

Simmer gently as we said at first

Or his skin you’ll surely burst.

If you’ve missed it this year Haggis is not just for Burns’ night, we sell it all year round.
