Is haggis the same thing as packet and tripe? :eek:
No
Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a sausage casing rather than an actual stomach.

Wild Haggis looks like this: http://lochgelly.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/haggis2.jpg ;-)
Packet and Tripe is a real Limerick city dish. Tripe is the lining of the cow's stomach (whitish), and packet (blue-blackish) is a sort of pigs blood pudding. It is very easily digested.

The haggis is already cooked and just needs some careful re-heating until it is piping hot. It may seem obvious, but it is essential to defrost before cooking if the haggis hasn't been bought fresh.
Pan method
1. Bring a pan of water to the boil.
2. Place the haggis in the pan and turn the heat down immediately. The water should only simmer, not boil as this may burst the case'¦resulting in a culinary disaster and a 'murdert haggis'. Some haggis come in a 'cook-in bag' to avoid this problem ' otherwise wrapping it in foil would help to protect the contents. The length of time it should be gently poached depends on the size of your haggis. As a guide, a 1kg haggis takes around 75 mins.
Oven
1. Remove outer plastic bag and wrap in aluminium foil.
2. Place in a casserole dish with a little water and cook in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C (Gas Mark 6) for around an hour, depending on the size of your haggis. To be on the safe side, test with a cooking thermometer to a minimum of 63 degrees Centigrade.
Microwave
1. Remove outer bag and skin.
2. Cut into evenly-sized slices and heat on medium for around eight minutes ' or as instructed on the haggis.
3. Halfway through cooking, mash with a fork to ensure an even temperature throughout.
*Dont forget to do your Neeps and Tatties to go with it
