1. Haggis
Ah haggis, the quintessential Scottish dish, and one that you’ve likely heard of! Immortalised by the great poet Robert Burns in his poem Address to Haggis, this delicacy is made from sheep’s liver, lungs, and heart, minced with spices like salt, oatmeal, suet and onion, all packed together inside a lining of the animal’s stomach. Sounds tasty, right?
For those wanting to try this iconic dish, restaurants across Scotland make it quite easy. Whether you want to try it traditionally prepared with neeps & tatties (more on that in a sec!), in a pie, on a burger, topped on fries, or even in chocolate, many options abound!
My favourite way to enjoy haggis is in a pie, paired with mashed potatoes, and whisky sauce, sitting in a cozy pub with friends.
Did you know? Haggis has been banned from the US since 1971. The USDA prohibits the selling of sheep lungs for consumption – one of the key ingredients in haggis!
