'''Haggis''' is a traditional Scottish dish.<br />
<br />
There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following ingredients: sheep's '[[pluck]]' ([[heart]], [[liver]] and lungs [''lights'']), minced with [[onion]], [[oatmeal]], [[suet]], [[spices]], and [[salt]], mixed with [[stock]], and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.<br />
<br />
Haggis somewhat resembles stuffed intestines (pig intestines otherwise known as [[chitterlins]] or the kokoretsi of traditional Balkan cuisine), [[sausages]] and savoury puddings of which it is among the largest types. As the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique puts it, "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour."<br />
<br />
Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach. There are also meat-free recipes for vegetarians.<br />
<br />
It is often asserted (e.g., on the packaging of MacSween's haggis) that the dish is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: [[swede]], yellow [[turnip]] or rutabaga and [[potatoes]]; these are boiled and mashed separately) and a "dram" (i.e. a glass of [[Scotch whisky]]). However, it might perhaps be more accurate to describe this as the traditional main course of a Burns supper, since on other occasions haggis may be eaten with other accompaniments.<br />
