haggis

A sausage made from the minced heart, liver and lungs of a sheep mixed with oatmeal, suet, minced onion, spices, herbs and seasoning, all encased in a sheep’s stomach and boiled prior to being served hot. Nowadays more commonly stuffed in a plastic casing. Traditionally served at Burns’ night suppers with tatties, bashit neeps and an excess of whisky, whilst Burns’ Ode to the Haggis is recited with due ceremony.
