I arrange a top-notch haggis for our Rabbie Burns supper every year, and we served haggis on a stick (basically mini-haggii about the size of a banger) at the Highland Games last year. I suppose I could check to see if there’s a Mackie’s distributor here. I doubt I could generate enough volume to make importing them from Scotland cost effective. ---

[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:22, topic:659123”] … haggis on a stick (basically mini-haggii about the size of a banger) at the Highland Games last year… [/QUOTE] Wow. Haggis lollipops? Now there’s a concept. 🙂 A pity winter is over, really, or you could get rich with that. I mean, just think, if you are are outdoors in summer and want a cooling snack, that’s easy, but now you have invented nice portable winter lollipops. Yeah, I know one can easily buy chips or kebabs or whatever, but your patented lollipops won’t require the messiness of packaging and the resultant waste etc, so they are also environmentally friendly haggis lollies. And there can be vegetarian haggis anyway, so that’s all right for veggie, kosher or halal people. And for people who just won’t try haggis, well you could also sell sausages on sticks. Of course, I shall require 10% for the idea. 🙂 ---

Ah, perhaps you’d best not use your “Wombat” name in marketing these delicacies, though, 'cos that could get a BIT confusing. 😃 ---

Hmmm. Wombat on a stick? No. I ain’t no cannibal! ---

[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:22, topic:659123”] I suppose I could check to see if there’s a Mackie’s distributor here. I doubt I could generate enough volume to make importing them from Scotland cost effective. [/QUOTE] The place where I saw them is small scale organic food place. They’re rotating their Mackie’s products. The last two times, there were no haggis chips, but there were Cherry Tomatoes and Herbs, and then something else I don’t remember, so it looks like they provide relatively small sample sales.
