The UK’s best-selling haggis and the only haggis to go to the edge of space!

2 star winner, Great Taste 2022 – Haggis worthy of the occasion!

Boil: Remove from the bag. Leave the casing with clips intact. Wrap the haggis in foil to help protect it, bring to a boil and then gently simmer for 45 minutes.

Oven: Remove from the bag. Leave the casing with clips intact. Wrap the haggis in foil to help protect it. Place in an ovenproof dish and fill with water until half the haggis is underwater. Check water level from time to time during cooking and top up as necessary. Cook in a preheated oven for 75 minutes (190°c gas mark 5).

Pan Fry: Slicing it up for a mega cooked breakfast?Simply remove the haggis from all packaging, including casing and clips. Cut into slices approximately 1cm thick. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan, to medium heat. Fry the haggis slices for approx 6-8 minutes, turning several times, and lower the heat if required during cooking.

AIR FRY: IN SLICES: Remove the haggis from all packaging, including casing and clips. Cut into slices approximately 1cm thick. Place in the air fryer compartment and cook on the air fry setting at 180°C for approx. 6 mins. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time.
AS A WHOLE: make a slice in the top of the casing. Put the whole haggis into the air fryer at 190°C for approx. 10 mins. take out and remove from the casing. Chop up and put back in the air fryer for another 10 mins at 190°C.

STEAMER: Wrap in aluminum foil and steam for approx. 50 mins.

SLOW COOKER: Wrap in aluminum foil and place in the slow cooker. I added 3 small balls of foil under the pudding to lift it slightly. Fill with water to just over halfway up the haggis and cook on high for 3 hrs.

Microwave: Remove haggis from all packaging, including the casing and metal clips. Chop up into chunks and place in a microwave dish, cover with clingfilm (you can sprinkle on a little water first to add moisture if you like) pierce film and then cook on full power (800 watts or category E oven) for 3 minutes. Peel back the film, being careful of hot steam and mash haggis with a fork, recover and cook for a further 2 minutes. Be very careful of hot steam and ensure haggis is thoroughly cooked throughout before serving.

We have had various haggis over the years but NEVER like the one I bought from Asda at the weekend. It is the BEST haggis we have ever had without a doubt and I genuinely hope we can get hold of it next year. It was absolutely fantastic, thanks.

Simon Howie Original Haggis was the only haggis stocked by the supermarket we use for our click and collect shopping during lock-down, so we ordered it for our Burns Night supper. Not to worry, it was superb, absolutely delicious!

A wonderful product and not too moist (as other products) I found it very tasty and exactly how I liked it after cooking it as per instructions. I bought a couple today to stick in the freezer for later meals.

Very well done, delivering a product well worth tasting!

We bought a Simon Howie Original Haggis in Tesco. It was absolutely delicious, just a perfect mix of grains, meat and spices. Thank you. The best we’ve ever tasted.

I’ll be looking for it every time we shop. Glad you do vegetarian versions too for others.

Just had my first Simon Howie haggis from Tesco! There is another in my freezer of the vegetarian variety. Not yet tried but thinking about it and no doubt I will get over the fear of the unknown shortly!

The original one is absolutely fantastic – I managed to eat three quarters of it myself last night and will be having the rest as a snack today! Beautifully lean content and I am sure it will go a long way to helping me with my New Year diet resolution!!

Beats McS’s any day!!!

Just had two Simon Howie haggis. Amazingly good! Masses of flavour and good and peppery.

We are not Scottish but enjoy celebrating Burns’ night each January. Usually we get McSween’s but I was in Tesco and bought Simon Howie’s. Shall try to find Howie’s in the future!
