haggis
Offal in stomach
Haggis is a Scottish dish made from sheep's organs—heart, liver, and lungs—minced with oatmeal, suet, and spices, traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and boiled.
It has a savory, nutty flavor and crumbly texture.
Haggis is the centerpiece of Burns Night suppers, where it's ceremonially addressed before serving: We had haggis with neeps and tatties.
