depending on the butcher a haggis can be made from pigs, sheep, cows or dear offal. offal being heart, lungs and liver these are cut up and boiled until they break down into smaller parts and then mixed with oatmeal and spices they are then stuffed into the stomach or into an artificial skin ( this being the most common now) and boiled again until cooked but still get sold as an uncooked meat in the shops. cows haggis is better tasting because of stronger tasting liver. trust me on this i work in an abotoir

A haggis is a sheeps stomach which is boiled with other minced offal (ie heart, lungs and liver) from the sheep and suet and onions also stuffed inside.
However a five hundred year old Scottish joke which is still strong tells that a Wild Haggis is an emu-like creature which is hunted in Wild Haggis season. The Wild Haggis lays Scotch eggs which are also enjoyed in Britain.

It's a small animal about 6 inches long with a fat body. The interesting thing is that evolution has given it two legs on the right side shorter than those on the left to enable it to run around Scottish mountains. They are caught by 'driving' them onto a flat piece of ground, often man-made, so that they fall over onto their side and cannot get up.They taste really nice boiled, a little like Mutton.

Everyone knows it is a small fury animal, and the legs on one side are shorter than the other so it can only go one way round mountains. To catch one, you chase it the other way, and it goes off balance and rolls down the mountain!
Next a question about Welsh dragons, of leprechauns please!

Haggis is basically sheep offal ( intestines etc) which are chopped, mixed with barley and spices. Historically it was put into a sheeps stomach lining and then slowly boiled, but these days they use synthetic pouches to stuff the mixture in.
It is served with mashed potatoes and mashed turnip ( called neeps and tatties) and it is delicious.!
