a traditional Scottish dish made from sheep organs mixed with oatmeal, spices, and onions, stuffed in a casing.
The origin is debated; possibly from Scottish 'hag' (to chop) or Old Norse roots. The dish became iconic in Scotland by the 15th century and is now celebrated on Burns Night, January 25th.
Burns Night celebrates poet Robert Burns with haggis, whisky, and poetry readings—it's Scotland's most important holiday! And there's a fake myth that haggis is a wild animal with three legs; the joke itself is now part of Scottish culture.
