Hoot Mon, Laddies and Lassies, its time for Haggis:
Ingredients:
1 sheep's stomach
1 sheep heart
1 sheep liver
½ pound suet, fresh (kidney fat is preferred)
¾ cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¾ cup stock
Procedure
Wash stomach; rub with salt and rinse.
Remove membranes and excess fat.
Soak in cold salted water.
Turn stomach inside out.
Boil the heart and liver in water, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Chop the heart and grate the liver.
Toast the oatmeal until golden brown.
Combine all ingredients and pack into the stomach, leaving enough room for the oatmeal to expand.
Press excess air out of the stomach and sew it up.
Simmer for three hours in a pot of water, pricking small holes in the stomach so that it doesn't explode.
Serve on a hot platter.
Enjoy with a case of Scottish Ale or a fifth of Good Scotch.
