Haggis Pakora

At Holiday Scottish Highlands & Islands we love Indian food and haggis so when we saw haggis pakora on sale in Tesco in Ullapool last September, we had to try them.It was a bit of a joke really but as they were reduced, we thought we had nothing to lose. We weren’t expecting much but they were really tasty and the “authentic Indian dip” had a lovely chilli kick too. We were more than happy to pay full price for our next purchase.

We also tried the black pudding pakora which were OK but the haggis ones were our favourite.

With so many crisp flavours around, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with the idea of haggis crisps. If you don’t live in Scotland and can’t get them in your local shop, don’t worry as you can buy them on Amazon.
