You take all of a sheep’s organs, and put them in it’s own stomach, and boil it.
What’s shown looks more like black pudding, though it could be a ground haggis sausage. Black pudding is a blood sausage using the pigs blood and binders like barley.
Lol, There was a Louis CK bit years ago where he talked about coming across an outdoor market and a bucket of duck vaginas and he had the same sentiment.
I got my offal origins mixed up, the dish I was thinking of is a Namibian tribal food that uses the intact organs stuffed into the stomach. I’d filed it away under haggis in my head.
What exactly is haggis?

If that doesn’t make you hungry, I dunno what will.
Nothing is a more visceral depiction of mankind’s dominance over our environment than stuffing a creature inside itself and cooking it.

Met Louis CK once… Funny horrible guy
Or Turducken, where you’re stuffing a creature into a creature into a creature.

They also had black pudding (tried that before and it’s pretty tasty). This was similar. I don’t know if it was authentic, but it was quite tasty.
It probably is. A closer look it seems like it’s a ground haggis filling. Good stuff.
OK, cool! Very rich and a bit offal-y (which I enjoy). And well spiced. I’m a fan.
The spice melange?
I def tasted clove and coriander seed.
Why do you think the brits conquered the world? If you had to eat un-spiced haggis you’d probably want to do a little slavery and a touch of plunder.
That looks like the haggis we get here in Glasgow.
It’s always looked like that. You mostly see the texture of the oats instead of the pluck.
I highly recommend veggie haggis though. Seriously, it’s good food.
I assume whole organ haggis has gone out of fashion in most places in favour of the ground sort?
I’m not sure what you mean by “whole organ” haggis. I haven’t seen anything different to what I’ve described in the last 50 years.
The stuff we have still has pluck… The offal, but it’s always minced.
Can you find a picture of it? I’d be really interested in seeing if I can get hold of some to try.

What goes into veggie haggis? I’d definitely try it.
According to McSween’s website, their haggis contains:
Basically offal cooked in a sheep’s stomach.
And that’s putting it nicely lol 😂🤢
The Irish version of this replaces the haggis with blood sausage 🤢 and the streaky bacon with the much tastier (in my opinion) rasher type bacon.
But besides the bacon the UK and Ireland are a great place for becoming vegan. 🤣
