Unconventional food fusion

Tweet

Our Italian lodger Antonio, who I’ve mentioned a few times before, is a real foodie. He’s always willing to try something new and although with some Italian dishes he is quite particular that they should be made in the ‘right’ way, with many other things he is very willing and even keen to experiment. And he has a rather unexpected fondness for haggis! His wife Paola is coeliac so he has sourced a supplier of gluten-free haggis and kept a stock in the freezer. We had some in the traditional way (‘haggis, neeps and tatties’), but then decided to try some variations. This was one of them, from a recipe book I had called ‘Posh Toast’ – haggis on toast with whisky onions. It was very good and I would definitely do it again. Another thing we tried was haggis risotto. Apologies to any Italians on here (sorry @LadyDuck), I’m sure this is considered sacrilege and they definitely didn’t mention it to any Italian family members but actually it was very tasty!
