THE HAGGIS

Tonight is Burns Night, celebrated in Scotland in honor of Robbie Burns (1759-96), the well-known Caledonian poet.

At Burns Suppers they eat the haggis (pictured above), a sheep's stomach containing sheep's heart, liver and lungs with other ingredients.  I have never sampled haggis, but expect it is an acquired taste.

People humorously say the haggis is a Scottish animal and a picture of this mythical beast is shown below.
