What is haggis?

 

Haggis is one of Scotland's most famous national dishes and consists of a round, large sausage that comes from the lungs, heart and liver of a sheep.

 

 

This mixture is seasoned with cayenne pepper and onion, among other things.

Once this has all been done, the mixture goes into a sheep's stomach in which it is boiled.

Mashed potatoes and turnips are the customary sides for haggis
