The best haggis there is... and its kind of healthy

Watched James May recently do a video on his attempt on making Haggis and will fully admit when I first saw his choice, I was sceptical. The tinned stuff immediately brought back memories of an old relatives kitchen, filled with tins of things that you should never wish to see in a tin. I'm talking about Diced Chicken, Mixed Vegetables, Steak & Kidney Pies and of course Grants Premium Haggis (all beside two tins of emergency Spam)

However due to these being times of "light hearted doom prepping" I happened to have three tins in the cupboard (due to it and curry beans being the only things not touched by lunatics at the start of lockdown in the supermarket tinned section) and figured it was time to try them and decided to make a Lasagne with a couple tins for the whole family. Aside from one fussy 5yr old, we all loved it. But here's the thing, I never told them until afterwards it was tinned, they all thought it came from the local butchers.

Which leads me to my point, I'm now convinced this is the best (and going by the health info possibly the healthiest) Haggis you can buy. So much so I've since put eight tins in the cupboard. Plus they have a four year shelf life (going by the use by date... which is only a suggestion) I'll probably never buy a Haggis from a Butchers ever again unless its to eat as it is on Burns Night.

So there it is, I'm convinced and wish I'd known sooner that the cheapest option for my nations favourite dish is also the best.
