Meaning of "haggis" in English

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish made from sheep's offal, such as liver, heart, and lungs, mixed with onions, oatmeal, and seasonings. It is typically encased in the animal's stomach or a similar casing and boiled. Known for its distinctive taste and texture, haggis is often served with "neeps and tatties" (turnips and potatoes). This dish is deeply rooted in Scottish culture and history, commonly associated with Burns Night, a celebration in honor of the poet Robert Burns. Haggis can vary slightly in recipes but maintains its core ingredients.
