Where can I buy neeps and tatties.....?

Question

The customer service rep. at my local supermarket just looked at me blankly and showed me where the turnips and potatoes were. Now if I wanted turnips and pototoes, I would have asked for them.

Please help.

Having a burns supper tomorrow night, the haggis has been caught, is in a cage in the shed and I'm still deciding on the most humane way to kill it.....

Answer 1

well if ye caught the kind with 3 leg´s then ye hay ne prablam , ge it it´s supper, wi that extra we dram init ,n it shidd keel ouwer bash its heed on the brick ye lave lyan arooned, ind if that desney work , than yur goney if ti hink o sumit else, he!he!he!

Answer 2

To kill humanely need to purchase haggis bassher, (note the spelling), available at most Scottish hardware stores, well all the good ones, not the multi-nationals. Please ensure you follow the instructions the letter.
While the haggis is still alive feed only on whole grain oats, good for the heart.
If Haggis caught at altitude less than 5,000 feet then will be a bit soft, needs to be the 5,000 ft plus ones to get the proper taste
Shop assistant was correct, it is better to purchase whole Turnip and un-processed Potatoes to make the neeps and Tatties, pre packed stuff is rubbish, add plenty black pepper to the neeps and enjoy

Answer 3

Ha Ha - Turnips and Potatoes are a very very good substitute.

Shoot the haggis right between the eyes, then throw it whole into a pan of boiling water. Whilst its still wet chuck it in the oven. After this grab it by the neck and slice it with your sharpest knife.
You should have killed it by now, if not set it free...

Answer 4

the best neeps and tatties can be bought on the Isle of Skye, ignore the customer service rep they aren't there to make life easy they are there to make life as difficult as possible. If you cant find them on the Isle of Skye then go back to where you caught the haggis and look there you should be able to find some.

As for killing said haggis I have been told the most humane way is to give it a dram of whiskey to lull it into a false sense of security and then boil or steam it to death

Either way enjoy!

Answer 5

Well they're obviously no fun at that supermarket. How can you even think of killing the poor haggis. Why don't you just invite it to the party instead? Or better still, give it plenty of whisky or vodka before you kill it to make it extra juicy and tasty plus it won't feel a thing when you cosh it over the head.

Answer 6

you silly thing! You get them at the neep and tattie emporium at the corner of Whisky and Rye in Aberdeen! If you are going to do this right, at least know where to get your bloody ingredients for heavens sake! As for the haggis have a bagpiper lul him to sleep, then nail him with a bow and arrow, but get im good and drunk first! Am I invited? I will bring some oatcakes and drambui and promise to show you whats under me kilt! (wink)

Answer 7

if you've still got time to hang, draw and quarter your haggis AND then roast it slowly in an old bread oven for 16 hours after the bakers used it for tomorrow mornings bread rolls

then you sure have got time to peel a few spuds and turnips and mashem up for your "neeps and tatties""

Answer 8

I would think by the other answers Morrison's and it's turnips and potatoes anyway happy burns night for tomorrow

Answer 9

do you want the neeps bashit and the tatties thumpit ?
they should have been in the same locality in which you caught the haggis (3 legged or 4 legged breed btw)
your common haggis will actualy die humanly if given a huge fright (it drops dead on the spot)

lmao hae' a guid burns nicht !

Answer 10

Your supermarketeer was right "neeps" is the Turnips. & "tatties" are the potatoes. Cook 'em up, & you have your "neeps, & tatties".

Happy Robbie Burns day!
