D= FASH, laddie. We willna have you

honest recipe for the birthday haggis.

The man Burns will aye be
honored w' the Genuine
Scotch variety, thanks to the
lady-across-the-hall who
loaned me Mrs. E,W, Kirk’s
“Tried Favorites Cookery
Book". If you can find a
more authentic recipe for the
famous pudding, I'll eat it. .

If the Jength (and breadth)
of the true Scotch recipe puts
you off, there’s a simpler ver-
sion which conveniently uses
up any cold meat you have
hanging around, instead of
insisting on the innards of.a
sheep. This. shortened ‘mix-
ture combines. toasted
Oatmeal, suet, ground meat if
you have any, parsley, onion,
salt and pepper with a little
water, all stuffed into a bag
got from the hutcher, Mrs.

. Kirk says, ‘‘Mukes a capital
dinner for the bairns, if made
up and boiled in potato
soup.”’ Try it on your bairns,
why don’t you?

But for the genuine article,
thus, and the asides are mine:

‘“*Procure the Jarge
stomach- bag of a sheep, and
also one of the’smaller bags
called *‘King’s Hood'’,
together with“ the - pluck,

which is the lights, liver and’
heart. The bags must be well -
‘washed, first in cold water, .

‘then plunged i in boiling water
end scraped. Great care must
be taken of the large bag; let
it lie and soak in cold water,
with a little’ salt, all night.

Wash. also the..pluck. You |

will: ‘now boil the small bag
along with the pluck; in boil-
ing, leave. the windpipe -at-

{so that: impurities may ‘pass

or some beel gravy. Stir all
together into a consistency.
Then take the large bag, now
thoroughly cleaned, and put
the minced stuff into it. Fill it
only a little more than half

“full, in order to leave room

‘for the.meal and meat to ex-
pand. If crammed too full it
will burst in the boiling. Sew
up the bag with a needle and
‘thread, The haggis is now
complete. Put it into a pot
with boiling water and prick
it occasionally with a large

needle as jt swells, to allow .

the air to escape. If the bag
appers thin, tie a cloth
around it outside. And put a

‘plate. beneath it, to prevent it

sticking to the bottom of the
pot. Boil it for 3 hours, Serve
