I've just bought a haggis for the first time and never tried it before does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with and what to serve with it?

Can I come round? - I love haggis!
Most haggis that you buy in the supermarkets comes complete with cooking instructions. (Basically, either leave it whole and boil it or cut it open, cut the contents into cubes and microwave it).
I've come across haggis served in all sorts of ways but the traditional accompaniment of 'neeps and tatties' is probably best. (That's turnips and mashed potatoes by the way). If you make the tatties creamy enough (add plenty of butter) you shouldn't need any gravy or sauce with it. (In fact, whenever I've come across haggis served with any sort of sauce, it's always spoilt the haggis).
A decent haggis (by my definition) should be quite spicy but some others can be a little bland - so have some black pepper handy when you serve it, just in case.
A bottle of Shiraz makes a decent accompaniment but a traditionalist will insist on a (very) large glass of single malt whisky. Actually, I've got a bottle here. Hang on, I'm on my way . . . . :-)
Bon appetit!

I just love Haggis, but it's even better with this sauce. I've been looking for a webpage with it 'cos I couldn't remember the name - We get it from a local castle shop when we go for walks there. Hope this works

It's made with whisky and I think redcurrants and it's really worth looking out for.

In A Pickle's Swedish friend would have been even more confused if he'd come down here to East Anglia. 'Swede' is a (somewhat derogatory) name used for someone born in the Norfolk or Suffolk countryside!
Slightly more seriously: Yes, I should have pointed out that the Scottish 'neeps' are the orangish vegetable rather than the white one.
