I do particularly like the way the slice of it looks on the plate with the avocados and other veggies on the side, very appealing! Those pastries are the most tempting of all, and they sound like fun to make. <br /><br />Also, thanks for your kind comment, made my day! :)Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-25116645456469935082010-01-11T11:26:14.573+11:002010-01-11T11:26:14.573+11:00Graham and I had veggie haggis a few nights ago, b...Graham and I had veggie haggis a few nights ago, but the boring way, with neeps and tatties.

Brilliant! <br /><br />Your evocative description of nachos reminded me of my nacho-eating failures as a kid - I used to eat all the plain nacho chips from the edges first, so I could save the best, soggy, laden ones until last - except invariably I would get full on the silly plain ones and end up missing out on the scrumptious middle ones with the cheesy-guac-laden goodness. Never again! :PHannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-10743256949534819712010-01-10T13:22:35.686+11:002010-01-10T13:22:35.686+11:00Yay!

Your pastries look perfect--I'd say you figured out how to make them look more professional, all right! And like you, I prefer to put my salsa layered among the cornchips for a Mexican lasagna feel to the dish. Once baked, some of the chips soften up while others remain crisp, and it's a great textural mix. Ooh, now I'm getting hungry again!Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-60046075441627891852010-01-10T05:48:37.780+11:002010-01-10T05:48:37.780+11:00My oh my Johanna, the GGG in you has been very bus...My oh my Johanna, the GGG in you has been very busy. <br /><br />I had some haggis Tex Mac nachos in Edinburgh of all places about two years ago.<br /><br />A few years ago I read an article in a Scottish newspaper about the versatility of the haggis from just a serving on Burns Night. There was haggis samaosa, nachos, pakoras, tostados, spring rolls and even haggis wraps and winter Tzatziki a recipe devised by Scottish Food Writer Sue Lawrence. I personally think the wider appeal of the haggis is due to the 'vegetarian' haggis which is ironic really.<br /><br />I have one of MacSweens veggie haggis in the freezer and look forward to making scrummy with it very soon.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-7423038056960424932010-01-09T18:25:42.553+11:002010-01-09T18:25:42.553+11:00A Scot's/Mexican combo, I didn't see that ...A Scot's/Mexican combo, I didn't see that one coming.Scotsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721900255963034112noreply@blogger.com
