We've a tin of vegetarian haggis in the cupboard and although I'm very sure it won't be nearly as nice as yours, I think I shall do something with it for supper and serve with nacho chips. The non-gingerbread tree looks very impressive and now I'm really looking forward to seeing your version next year.<br /><br />I'm sure I've said it already, but Happy New Year :-0Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-53220569185422102652012-01-04T03:49:42.248+11:002012-01-04T03:49:42.248+11:00Why have I never thought of veggie haggis nacho...Why have I never thought of veggie haggis nacho's??? Hubby is strictly the meat haggis but I am sure if I served him veggie haggis nacho's he'd be more than happy to scoff the lot.<br />How lovely to have neighbours to pop by and share kitchen antics with too!!! Would never happen in my neck of the woods I am afraid.
