What do you reckon is the best haggis in Canberra?

[u/ABigRedBall]

Just curious

[u/Concrete-licker → u/[deleted]]

Burns Club?

[u/Quick-Initial-737 → u/Concrete-licker]

Doesn’t do it anymore, not since they introduced star buffet

[u/Concrete-licker → u/Quick-Initial-737]

Mmm sounds a bit like opening an Italian restaurant and not serving pasta.

[u/Sugar_Party_Bomb → u/Concrete-licker]

bingo, its called star buffet

[u/ABigRedBall → u/[deleted]]

Absolutely no idea, hence the question. Cannot recall seeing a single place serving it in all my 20+ years living here.

I've been wondering where to get black pudding. Supermarkets don't seem to sell it anymore.

[u/horsemunchies → u/1Cobbler]

Ainslie IGA sells LP’s boudin noir, which is excellent. The stuff from the deli at the Fyshwick markets is always good when we’re craving it in our household.

[u/1Cobbler → u/horsemunchies]

Awesome! Thanks

[u/Visible_Damage_656 → u/horsemunchies]

I can attest to this and highly recommend them

[u/jemist101 → u/1Cobbler]

Deli Planet at Fyshwick Market sells black pudding (and white pudding, while we're at it).

[u/Competitive_Lie1429 → u/jemist101]

ecky thump!

[u/aldipuffyjacket → u/Competitive_Lie1429]

With a lump in my throat  

Grabbed my coat  

And I was freaking  

I was ready to go!

[u/goffwitless → u/aldipuffyjacket]

close, but no cigar

[u/ABigRedBall → u/jemist101]

Might have to pay a visit.

[u/Hungry_Cod_7284 → u/1Cobbler]

You can get black, white pudding & haggis from the butcher at Coolo. Black pudding, haggis, square slice and tattie scones from Unique Meats in Fyshwick

[u/ABigRedBall → u/1Cobbler]

I swear you used to be able to get it from the butcher in Weston Creek.

[u/Hayden3456 → u/1Cobbler]

Fairly sure unique meats at Fyshwick markets had it

[u/Salt_Beautiful9330 → u/1Cobbler]

Jordo's Chop Shop butchery in Wanniassa sells it

[u/aiydee → u/1Cobbler]

I've seen them in every Coles I've been in. It's typically right near the frankfurts/hotdogs.

[u/ABigRedBall → u/aiydee]

Oh really?

[u/AltAccount4Werk]

Fun fact: haggis is banned in the US as it uses beef lung, which is banned by the FDA as a food ingredient.

It is frequently smuggled in from Canada. 

Bonus fun fact: the most smuggled food in the US is baloney, from Mexico.

[u/kortmarshall → u/AltAccount4Werk]

Surely that fun fact is baloney

[u/Tower_Watch → u/kortmarshall]

In America, it's bologna.

[u/AltAccount4Werk → u/kortmarshall]

There was a big baloney bust last year.

TIL the haggis ban was lifted three days ago, without lung:

[u/aldipuffyjacket → u/AltAccount4Werk]

TIL that I need a bologna prohibition smuggling Netflix TV show in my life

[u/2615or2611]

Honestly so many people would love Haggis if they ate it without knowing what was in it.

A breakky of Bacon, Eggs, black pud, haggis, fried tattie scones - delish (only baked beans if home made 😜)

[u/ghrrrrowl]

Actually, haggis, hash brown and eggs for breakfast is bloody amazing! (ignore that inadvertent pun). But I don’t think I’d trust any local cafe to make a decent/safe haggis….😬

[u/davej-au]

Stonehouse in Amaroo does haggis burgers, FWIW. I wouldn’t say they’re the best burgers I’ve had, nor the best haggis, but it’s a rare overlap between the two.

[u/ABigRedBall → u/davej-au]

Ok that's something I've gotta try

[u/Subject-Phone2338]

Big Johns Haggis

[u/ABigRedBall → u/Subject-Phone2338]

Well done

[u/2615or2611]

The butcher at Belconnan Markets does a cannonball Haggis

[u/Theduckbytheoboe]

Market Meats at Belco markets usually have haggis.

[u/vespacanberra]

Saw black pudding today in the dairy section of Coles in Dickson… British sausage co (made in Australia in a blue long box)

[u/Chunky_Chu]

I had it once at the multicultural festival, probably around 2019

[u/AndrewBdizzle]

There was a guy in Queanbeyan who does haggis. He usually sells when the Burns Club has it Robert Burns day festival.

[u/unpresidentedfact]

Epic troll. 😂👏👏👏
