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.

Answer 2

blood pudding is a sausage kind of thing made with parts and blood. the blood id thickened through cooking and will congeal when cooled. "haggis" is a cow or sheep stomach, stuffed with oats and ground animal parts, traditional in scotland. figgy pudding is made from figs, usually served warm with "hard sauce" and is an engish tradition around the holidays (as to why they want it right now, i have no idea, except that maybe some people like that nasty, sticky crap

Answer 3

Not really sure about 1 or 3, but Haggis is a Scottish dish which looks and sounds absolutely horrible but actually tastes pretty good.

It's a mixture of meats (especially organ meats and especially from sheep), spices, and oatmeal stuffed into the stomach of a sheep and boiled.

I'm afraid the end result looks like an elephant turd. But slice it up and pour on a little steak sauce and it's fine - kind of like a dense meatloaf.
