Haggis is a traditional 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 shops.
