Haggis Cooking Lesson

1. Stay at House of Mark B&B in the middle of nowhere in the Highlands (right where the royals like to hunt).

2. Schmooze with the owner; tell him you love haggis.

3. Admire his story of how his wife (who’s not here) makes an amazing haggis recipe in puff pastry.

4. He gets instructions for same from wife.

5. He patiently reads instructions while I follow. Intern Katie, from Austria, is also present so she can learn how this is done.

6. Cut haggis into 8 pieces. Nuke for 30 seconds, then roll into "meatballs."

7. Keep a pot of melted butter handy so you can absolutely soak puff pastry in it.

8. Place one meatball in each puff pastry packet.  

9. Close up packet like a small gift.

10. Bake, then serve with rocket garnish and a bernaise/scotch whisky sauce (using "light" scotch).  OMG
