Completely agree Steve.... Halls are cheap and easily available but there is nothing as good as a Cockburns Haggis simmered (don't boil it - the skin will burst and that's way too messy to even contemplate) for about an hour in a pan with the water coming about 1/3 of the way up the Haggis.... serve with creamed mashed potatoes and mashed turnips( sprinkled liberally with coarse ground black pepper) - Neeps to those of us across the border! Never mind the pudding...... second helpings of haggis will mean you won't have any room for pudding!
Nope not to a Burns night - but will go to an RSCDS Country Dance tomorrow night.
Just thought that the BBC's page here looks pretty good and gives lots of Burns related recipes:

Cockburns in Dingwall are the Scottish champion Haggis makers & definately the best!!
The butchers on the square in Stonehaven (forget their name) make the best ones i've tasted.
The also do veggie ones (IIRC) but I've never tried those.
See Genie... I DO eat meat..
The blue supermarket used to sell the Mcsween vegi ones for about 6 months of the year - but they stopped sometime last summer!
I went to Waitrose yesterday (while on my way to pick my Euros for tomorrow) and found them there! Cant wait to tuck into one with some mashed turnips and carrots with a dollop of mayo to finish!
I don't know what to say - mayo?!? I'm intrigued but slightly revolted at the same time - how curious?
No you don't, you eat fake meat, or meat that is only just meat, or meat that is barely there and surrounded by so much rabbit food you wouldn't notice it unless it actually made a noise.
I am just teasing you babe.
You eat bacon only if it is burnt to a crisp, you eat sausages (although not the kind I normally buy, what were they?) and you eat some chicken sometimes. Which only just puts you in the meat-eater's bracket.
Although I understand why you don't eat steak and stuff. I know it makes you sick
I really need a lamb casserole now
Many thanks for all the advice, we abandoned the soup
Ours was a Macsween, very good indeed
My neighbor used a Cranachan recipe similar to Beo’s
With a honey and whisky sauce
Did Burn's night for 15 last night, all seemed to go well and no-ones called in sick with food poisoning yet
Got four meat ones form local butcher and two MacSween veggie ones. Both were very good. Had left overs from each but think I've had enough haggis last night to face eating any more tonight
