Haggis Hurling Contest Wants To Use Fake Haggis - Haggis Hurlers Howling

[matcom]

<snip>

SCOTTISH purists are up in arms over plans to use fake haggis in a haggis hurling competition at a Victorian highland festival.

Haggis hurling has been included for the first time at this Sunday's Berwick Highlands Gathering in Melbourne's outer south-east.

Event coordinator Ross Chudleigh said they had decided to use "simulated haggis" for the competition as the real stuff would just be too messy.

The simulated version would instead use sand or oatmeal in a Hessian bag which would be thrown in the traditional Scottish style similar to a shot-put action.

But the decision not to use real haggis – a dish of sheep organs minced and boiled in a sheep's stomach – has outraged traditional Scots.

3. Why Not A Vegaterian Version

5. On haggishunt.com there's a recipe for one

And that ain't no shit, neither. Vegan and Vegetarian haggises.

Which, to this meat eater, sounded more edible than a real haggis.
