–noun Chiefly Scot.
a traditional pudding made of the heart, liver,
etc., of a sheep or calf, minced with suet and oatmeal, seasoned, and boiled in
the stomach of the animal.
OR
n. A Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and
liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings and
boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal.
I'm glad they included the word "slaughtered" in the definition, otherwise, we might think the "etc." meat was boiled in the stomach of a live animal, and for heaven's sakes, that would just be gross.
Why the sudden fascination with haggis? Well, James and Jennie decided to get married in a Scottish castle, this one,
in fact, and I wanted to see what we would be up against, meal-wise.

Last year when we were in Scotland, I actually tried haggis. It's not too bad, surprisingly.
