No trip to
Scotland would be complete without at least trying Haggis, the national Scots dish. Haggis is a rich dish made of sheep's heart, liver and lungs. It is then mixed with onion, oatmeal, suet, lots of fresh ground pepper and other spices. It is then put in a sausage casing and simmered for a few hours. It is usually served with "neeps and tatties" which are just mashed turnips and mashed potatoes.
At a local restaurant, I tried a high-end version of haggis which was served on top of layers of mashed turnips and potatoes with a whiskey sauce.
It was actually pretty good as long as I didn't think of exactly what I was eating. Of course, the local Scot beer did help wash it down.

I've always been curious to try haggis but haven't yet had the opportunity. Do you think you'd ever try it again?
