Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish and the national dish of Scotland. It is a type of savory pudding made using sheep pluck, which includes the lungs, hearts, and liver. The cooked minced offal is mixed with suet, oatmeal, and seasonings and encased in the sheep stomach. Once stitched up, the stuffed stomach is boiled for up to three hours. Haggis has a crumbly sausage-like texture with a coarse oaty texture and a warming peppery flavor. It is usually served with neeps (mashed turnip) and tatties (mashed potato) and washed down with whisky. Although haggis is traditionally made with sheep offal, any animal can be used, and there are many variations, including combinations of lamb, pork, and beef. If the thought of cooking the animal parts is off-putting, there is commercial haggis available, including a vegetarian version.
