Sheep lungs, kidneys and other internal organs, oatmeal, and sometimes whisky cooked in the stomach of the sheep. It is very peppery, and not bad. You just shouldn't think about it when you are eating it.

Traditional haggis is sheep's heart, liver and lungs mixed together with oatmeal, onions, and spices, stuffed in a sheep's stomach and boiled until done. Here is a recipe:

1 sheep's lung (illegal in the U.S.; may be omitted if not available)
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. ***** 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", which are mashed turnips, mashed potatoes, nips of whiskey, respectively.

A Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings and boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal.

I've had it and it tastes as bad as it sounds.

I'm not sure exactly, but I know it is made in a sheep's stomach. My dad had a friend who loved the stuff!

The first answer is right.

Nothing like sheep organs and innards for a tasty snack. Ugh!

Sheep intestines and organs. It's actually good. Sometimes you shouldn't ask.
