This is hardly a recipe is it? It's about as useful as Carlos posting 'Cod'.

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

  • 1 sheep's lung
  • 1 sheep's stomach
  • 1 sheep heart
  • 1 sheep liver
  • 1/2 lb fresh suet (kidney leaf fat is preferred)
  • 3/4 cup oatmeal (the ground type, NOT the Quaker Oats type!)
  • 3 onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup stock
Wash lungs and stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing.

Cover heart and liver with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking.

Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting. Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon. Ceremoniously served with "neeps, tatties and nips" -- mashed turnips, mashed potatoes, nips of whiskey.

I only had it once, and quite enjoyed it. I don't know if I could eat it again having seen what goes into it.

We're hunter gatherers. If we weren't meant to eat meat god wouldn't have made cows and pigs taste so good...

Man I could murder a bacon roll...

if you get the chance of something haggis related as a starter take it. Never had a bad one. In fact if I see it on the menu I almost always go for it.

Some hotels with breakfast buffets have haggis. Quite nice complement to your traditional English breakfast. Haggis, tattie scones, bacon, sausage and tomatoe sauce. Toast on the side. Lovely. No beans, no eggs, no tomato, no mushrooms may have a piece of black pudding (not white) and if no tomato sauce then brown sauce will suffice.
