Haggis
Minced lamb organ meat, oatmeal, suet and onion cooked packed inside a sheep's stomach into a dense, savory pudding, sliced and served with mashed potatoes and turnips.
Where it comes from
It comes from a period when using every part of a slaughtered animal, including organs that spoiled fastest, mattered more than taste alone, cooked with grain inside the animal's own stomach as a sealed vessel.
What cooks argue about
Whether it is cooked in a real sheep's stomach or the synthetic casing standard in most haggis today is argued over for texture as much as tradition, since the natural casing is harder to handle.
Versions
Nobody has published a haggis here yet. When somebody cooks one from a video and publishes it, their version appears in this list, with a link back to the original.
