What's hagis?

Answer 1

Haggis is a Scottish food. there are a number of various recipes, However, it is normally made with sheep's heart, liver, and lungs, minced with onion, spices, suet, oatmeal, and salt, mixed with stock, and boiled in the sheep's stomach for approximately an hour. Most commercially prepared haggis is placed in a casing instead of an actual stomach. I have heard that there are some meat-free recipes for vegetarians which supposedly taste similar to the traditional ones.

Answer 2

Haggis is a traditional Scottish recipe. Here's how to make it:

Traditional Haggis
1 sheep's pluck (stomach bag)
2 lb.. dry oatmeal
1 lb. suet
1 lb. lamb's liver
2 1/2 cups stock
1 large chopped onion
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt

Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12.

Why not have a dinner party?

Answer 3

...A delightful Scottish dish made out of sheep innards and mixed up with suet and oatmeal and then the whole mixture is boiled in the stomach of a sheep. Ah, yum, yum. It's best eaten if you are so completely drunk that the thought of eating it doesn't make you puke.

Oh by the way, it's usually served with a sauce passed with it. The sauce is a bottle of Scotch which is poured over each dish of haggis. I think they do it so that you don't sober up while you are eating it. Works for me.

Answer 5

I had it every day I was in Scotland and most of the days I was in England
Traditionally it is boiled (I guess with all the ingredients everyone else has mentioned) I never had it boiled

It tastes good though I found most food over there to have too much pepper

It was served as part of breakfast

Answer 6

I went to Scotland last summer to visit my sister, and I had it twice. Yummy!

Okay, it was just a bunch of brownish sheep stuff on top of "neeps and tatties" (mashed turnips and potatos-it always came with that) and I remember e-mailing one of my friends that "it tasted like a combination of mud and spicy hamburger meat." No, it was better than that, I just wanted it to sound like I really had an adventure!

Meanwhile, my mom had "vegetarian haggis"... go figure...

Haggis is also a mythical three-legged animal! I have a haggis whistle (from my sister) that claims to imitate its mating call. There's a whole website devoted to it, haggishunter.com I think.
