'''Haggis''' is a traditional [[Scotland|Scottish]] dish. It is made with various ingredients including the [[sheep]]’s liver, heart and lungs, seasoned, and mixed with [[oats]], a cereal which Dr Johnson memorably described in his [[Dictionary]] as "a grain, which in [[England]] is generally given to horses, but in [[Scotland]] supports the people."  The ingredients are cooked for about an hour in the sheep’s stomach. Portions of haggis are also frequently coated in batter, deep fried and served at [[chip shop]]s.

Scots like to tease tourists with the suggestion that a haggis is a small Scottish animal whose unique feature is having two legs shorter on one side of their body so that they can run round mountains.  Unfortunately, the male and female haggises have the shorter legs in opposite sides so they go round in opposite directions.  Don't be fooled.

The haggis has become an exalted component of [[Robert Burns|Burns]] Night where gastronomic banquets (known as Burns' Suppers) are held in honour of Scotland's national poet. The highlight of the evening is usually a recitation of the poem ''[[Address to a haggis]]''.  Slices of haggis are then consumed accompanied by glases of whisky.
