Stumbled across your blog today and I'm enjoying it. Interesting ingredients and methods you've described; I had no idea pig cheek was a cut of meat you could buy at the supermarket! This year's Burn's Night was the first I'd celebrated. My housemate and I got a haggis at the market and had some 'neeps' (but alas, no 'tatties'!), and it was delicious. I was still under the misguided impression that sliced sausage and haggis were the same thing (not entirely sure where I got this idea from!) so when I was told it was a stomach stuffed with lung, it came as something of a surprise. Still, tasty :)

I went round a friend’s house; he microwaved the haggis and didn’t make enough neeps and tatties so we did a mad dash to the meateasy for late night burgers.

Actually managed to celebrate Burns night last night (despite being married to a vegetarian and the night being a precursor to Australia Day). We addressed the (veggie) haggis and delighted in it’s deliciousness combined w/ tatties and…er…green beans. Another national day worth celebrating me thinks 😉
