Does shop bought haggis smell vile when cooked?

strav100

I have just made one - smelt awful - thought it was off so I binned it. The inside stuff smelt ok and I tried a bit it tasted ok but was too frightened to eat the rest.

Did it in the oven with some water (1 hour)

Does haggis (MacSween) really smell awful when cooked - is it the stomach lining?

(I have put this elsewhere - but I'm a bit worried)

MacSweens is made in the traditional sheep's stomach bag...hence the smell I take mine out and microwave it and it tastes yummy!

I slice it in a pyrex dish and dot with butter then heat in the oven for 40 mins and its lovely.

mini huny money - if you run the right way round the hill you shouldn't be knackered

I was going to suggest the stomach bit that smells - I've never noticed when its been served but its OH that always cooks it. We had a McSweens last Saturday and I've got another small one in the freezer for later in the year :j
