The lorne is made by a local butcher and he does not put too much in the way of fat in it.  I think its his own haggis as well, just not quite so sure of all he puts in it...  Still tasty though!!    ;D

I was very dissappointed with the haggis supper I had the other week when I was on my way to Edinburgh, far too dry - Jockanese mother-in-law agreed. The chippy I used to stop at in Biggar seemed to have gone. :(

One of those occasions when it's best not to know the full story  ::) ;D
A propper Scotish haggis does take some beating though  :y

Thanks - so basically a sausage sandwich - unfortunatley I have sausage issues.

1) Can't eat cheap ones (OK with hot dogs and butcher ones)
2) Don't like cold sausage.
