Haggis is similar to Pennsylvanian Scrapple, except it is made from Sheep instead of cow, and of the whole sheep's stomach instead of chopped up pieces. Both also use a cereal of some sort to bulk out. Haggis uses oats, Scrapple uses corn.
Both are delicious.
Hope that helps.

Is haggis food? - the Scots would say yes but I'll leave that to your judgment.
Haggis is the internal organs of the sheep minus the liver, kidneys, heart and intestines (these organs are use for other recipes). The remaining organs (mostly the lungs, bladder, spleen and other things now used for pet food) are ground up mixed with oats and seasoning and sealed inside a sheep's stomach to be cooked. It looks like a bloated sausage when done.
The Pennsylvania Dutch have a similar recipe based on pork using a pig's stomach and substituting potatoes for oats.
No -I've never tried either. There are other curious recipes like this, you might find a few in cook books from the late 1800's. Look under "sweetbreads" that quaint Victorian euphemism for internal organs of livestock.

It's food to some, Gross to others!
It's basically the sheep's heart liver and lungs with onion, oatmeal, spices, and salt, boiled in a sheep's stomach
I used to work at a company where we had quite a few people from England, Ireland & Scotland and I found out about Haggis (VERY UNWITTINGLY) and it was not a memorable experience.
Ugggh, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little

A haggis is a small animal native to Scotland. Well when I say animal, actually it's a bird with vestigial wings - like the ostrich
Hope this helps

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish. And it tastes wonderful!
There are many recipes, but it is normally made with:
sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately an hour.
YUMMY!!!!!

Haggis is one of Scotland's national dishes. It consists of oatmeal, onions, liver, and sometimes kidney cooked inside a sheep's stomach. Bon apetit!

It's a Scottish dish. Something like a sheep's stomach filled with other organs and boiled.

It's food from Scotland. It is mostly sheep stomach, with organs and barley inside. I've never tried it, and don't plan to.
