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.
