From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haggis is a dish containing sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach.

Traditionally "Haggis" is made of a small Scottish animal with one set of legs longer than the other so that it can stand on the steep Scottish Highlands without falling over. It is illegal to remove these creatures from Scotland and strict breeding policies are in place, preventing the creature from being found in any other country. It is estimated that 33% of British citizens are not aware that Haggis is a real creature.[1]
The haggis is a traditional Scottish dish memorialised as the national dish of Scotland by Robert Burns' poem Address to a Haggis in 1787. Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: swede, yellow turnip or rutabaga and potatoes, boiled and mashed separately) and a "dram" (i.e. a glass of Scotch whisky), especially as the main course of a Burns supper. However it is also often eaten with other accompaniments.
