In celebration of Rabbie Burns' birthday, Greggs (the UK's industrial purveyor of below par pastry goods) have teamed up with MacSweens (Scotland's industrial purveyor of haggis) to bring us their Haggis Pie!
This is your classic haggis, neeps and tatties served up in a scotch pie case made of pastry tough enough to break your teeth on. All of this and a can of juice for a mere two pounds! Oh Mr Gregg, you are spoiling us. It was served up lukewarm with a side order of hangover and a ringing in my ears from last night's punk gig; Just how I like it.
The amount of haggis was a let down, more of a smearing across the bottom of the pie than an actual portion. It had a passing acquaintance with the neeps as well but this pie was home to mash, mash and more mash. Ach well, it cured my hangover (or was that the Irn Bru?) and was gone in about four bites. Next time I'll have to remember the broon soss. And extra haggis.
Verdict:
Nae bad.
