How to cook a Mogerley haggis
Wrap the haggis tightly in tinfoil and place in a pan of cold water, heat the water up until it just reaches boiling point and switch off the heat, leave haggis sitting in water to heat through for about 20 minutes, a little longer if a larger haggis, once ready unwrap from tinfoil, slice open the skin and scoop out haggis with a spoon.
