Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish made from sheep's heart, liver, and lungs, minced and mixed with onions, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt. This blend is typically encased in the animal's stomach and then boiled, though modern versions often use synthetic casings. Originating as an economical recipe to utilize all parts of the animal, haggis is high in protein and iron due to its organ meat content. Oatmeal adds fiber, supporting digestion, while spices provide flavor without excess sodium. However, haggis can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it best enjoyed in moderation. Traditionally served with "neeps" (mashed turnips) and "tatties" (mashed potatoes), haggis remains a foundational dish in Scottish cuisine, celebrated during events like Burns Night in honor of poet Robert Burns.
