EDINBURGH, Scotland, - Scottish butchers have compiled a number of extravagant ingredients to create the world's most expensive haggis.
The recipe of the traditional Scottish dish crafted by Macsween butcher shop in Edinsburgh cointains Wagyu beef, from a farm where all the cows have names, French white truffle, tellicherry black pepper from India and a decorative sprinkle of edible 24-karat gold.
The one-of-a-kind dish is made to order by the shop for the price of $5,687.
"At Macsween we're passionate about offering all of our customers only the best high-quality, delicious products made to the family recipe," managing director James Macsween told STV News. "This latest creation demonstrates the dedication and craft that goes into every single one of our products. Good haggis making is an art and we wanted to highlight this."
Although most people won't likely be able to shell out the necessary cost for the luxury haggis, Macsween assured that the butcher shop also offers other quality products at more affordable prices.
"Our diverse range of quality, versatile, award-winning products offer something for everyone," he said. "Haggis is a delicious dish which can be enjoyed by the family all year round." Scottish butchers have compiled a number of extravagant ingredients to create the world's most expensive haggis.

I am feeling a little sick this morning and you are not making it any better.
How about a nice plate of scrambled eggs and a biscuit?
They eat cows that have names?
“Scottish kishka.”
Minus the pigs blood, yes! Kishka....mmmmmmm. Who stole the kishka? Someone call the cops!
Wait. People *pay* to eat that sh!t?
Only their innards.....
I think I'll skip the world's most expensive haggis on Burns' Night, and head straight for the single-malt scotch.
$5600 is nothing. A PHOTO of a potato just sold for $1 million.
What kind of an idiot wants to turn gold into poop?

My dad loved scrambled eggs and brains. You can still get canned pork brains in milk gravy in some stores.
Thanks you just made me feel sick again! 😩
DANG!
Well, I’m not ashamed to admit that I like haggis despite not having tried it until I was an adult. Hmm, I really do need to get back to Scotland soon.
My uncle was hard core like that. Every morning on the mountain after a deer kill he would have scrambled eggs and deer brains. Had to pass on that.
I could handle liver and kidneys and the heart in limited quantities but not all mixed together as the main course.
My husband loves haggis. He has it every morning for breakfast when he’s in Scotland.
"Get your Haggis right here! Chopped heart and lungs boiled in a wee sheep's stomach! Tastes as good as it sounds!"
I’d take haggis even from a can. Unfortunately, the authenic stuff from Scotland cannot be legally imported into the U.S. because it contains sheep products.
US haggis import ban ‘could be lifted’ under new rules
