    Haggis is a kind of savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs — see offal); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours.

    Sounds delish .... not.
    Depends. If you eat sausages you eat far worse.

    I died a little inside when we forgot Burns' night last year and didn't get to have any Haggis and Tatties.

    This year we caught our own! Free range, of course.

    Yeah it's delicious. If we're having it for our tea then we have it with potatoes and beans though. No neeps till burns night!

    I accidentally had vegetarian one once as well. It was nice too- although it didn't in any way taste like haggis! :lol:

    I was very sceptical first when my boyfriend gave me a description of everything that was in it. But I tried it later, and it was very very delicious Didn't like the Nips (right spelling?) that came along with it, but the Tattties and the Haggis was awesome.
    Neeps.

    I LOOOOOOVE haggis! Don't enjoy thinking about the contents of it, but it's still nom to the extreme. :coma:

    MMMMMM HAGGIS.


    Some of my friends actually refer to me as The Girl Who Likes Haggis and they always point out anything remotely haggis-like in the shops. I bought a packet of haggis crisps once and one of my friends was so amused she wanted my picture taken with the crisps

    I quite like it :awesome:

    It's deceivingly difficult to find haggis here in the USA, despite our national obsession with obscene amounts of food. One can only find it at little import stores that specialize in British cuisine.

    Fun fact: some of the offal ingredients in authentic haggis are actually classified as dog food here, and illegal to sell for human consumption.

    Haggis is DELISH! I had that for two meals(at least) every day for 3 days while I was in Edinburgh. Will be doing the same when I visit the highlands this summer for sure. Goes really well in a burger too. Yum!!

    It is by far the best indigenous British foodstuff. And it's even better when combined with our adopted Italian and Indian foods: deep-fried haggis with curry sauce, and haggis pizza (also deep fried naturally) are to die for.
