Haggis - The Most Scottish Thing You Can Eat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- For non-locals, this dish might sound a bit out-there, but in its homeland of Scotland, haggis is an absolute classic. Haggis is inexpensive, tasty, and very nourishing. The savory pudding is prepared with minced sheep's pluck, oatmeal and spices. In Scotland it was once a typical rural meal, but these days haggis is often served up with no small ceremony - even to bagpipe accompaniment! - particularly on Hogmanay, the Scottish New Year.
We took a closer look at the ingredients, how it's served, and the myths surrounding it.

I'm Scottish, don't let the details of a haggis put you off. It's like a meaty, creamy, oaty sausage mince. Its absolutely amazing, think about what goes into a hotdog and how it's made and we still eat them.
It's a wonderful dish 🏴
The only haggis I’ve had a chance to eat was canned, I desperately want to have a go at a properly made one …. With a glass of the appropriate Scotch whisky
I am hearing various news of meat being banned or restricted in Scotland as a movement for climate change. How true is that?
I wish I COULD try it but I believe it's no legally available in theUS.
@@robertkern3887 The store I got the canned haggis also sold haggis in the sheep stomach and sausages. Unfortunately the store is no longer in business. I was also able to get IRN-BRU there as well. This was in Oregon
I am Germany and i liked Haggis, too when I tried it in Scotland.
I'm from SE Asia and I absolutely love haggis. Asians eat offal much more often than Europeans and so are unlikely to put off by seeing the list of ingredients
I'm also from SE Asia and I've never even eaten haggis and I've never even heard of offal lol
@@rizguy so you’ve never eaten liver or organs? That’s what offal is.
@@smolaether I don't think I've eaten liver but if mutton brain counts as organ then I guess I have eaten one specific organ
@@rizguy It is.
My biggest complaint would be how little the spices are used 🤣
Everyone told me try haggis during my trip to Scotland. I was bit reluctant thinking of all the organs inside but I found myself eating haggis for breakfast lunch and dinner while I was there 😂😂
We have something similar in Tunisia(it's cooked in other North African countries like Algeria and lybia) it's called osban, usually cooked during eid edha , it's sheep stomach stuffed with rice, onion,chard,parsley, chopped liver and spices and it's often served with couscous, very delicious 👌❤️ but it's quite a heavy meal😅
The comment I have been looking for since this popped up on my feed like literally a few hours before Aïd (now)! Aidek mabrouk🇹🇳
Eid mubarak🙏🙏
In Egypt too, it's called mombaar
3osban ❤️
you nailed it i was thinking about that too!
Kenyan Haggis. This tradition was brought to the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya when the British came to colonize East Africa and is still practiced up to date. My cousins learnt the skill of making haggis from their elders and have been making it everytime our extended family happens to have a get together. It's very yummy btw
Very interesting!
Mutura?
That’s amazing.
I thought it originated in Greece
Mutura, right??
I'm English and absolutely love haggis. There's a chip shop near me that sells it deep fried with batter. I brought one for a work mate. He loved it until I told him what it was
You gotta have it with brown sauce! 😋
Or as they say in Scotland "broon sauce"
First time I went to Scotland I went to a chip shop to get haggis and chips too. It was soooooo good. P.S the people were extremely friendly too!
Then what happened next
@@geoffworsnop5726 he was tipping as if to be sick.. it was quite funny to watch considering he ate half already and was talking about how nice it was.. I couldn't believe he didn't know what haggis was. I told him when I first offered him a haggis and chips it's like a battered burger.
Things like that have no effect on me,I grew up eating tongue,heart ,liver and kidney and really enjoy it all.
Weirdest thing I ate was monkey meat. Had a boy across the road who's dad was African and he used to bring bush meat back.. so yeah I ate BBQ monkey. Quite nice but there was still skin on it so after you had chewed it for a while you spat out a kind of rind
Hi please wat is the mame of the county
As Indonesian we also eat almost all of the animal like tripe, lungs, kidneys, cartilage, bone marrow, etc. Believe me when I say I'm mouth watering seeing this video. Lol.
Believe me, indonesian spices are what makes it delicious 🤣
@@bungarin4041 thats true. You wont like haggies due to lack of spices. 😂
@@bungarin4041 yes, please add garlic, shallot, turmeric, ginger, coriander, tomato and a lot of chillies.
@@bungarin4041 yes, if not why the Dutch enslave us for 350 years 😆
@Steven Dawson they use mace, the poorman spice..
The mashed turnips is something we eat a lot of here in Norway. Even on Christmas Eve, the traditional west-Norwegian food is salted and smoked lamb ribs, with potatoes and mashed turnips, with the fat from the boiled meat as a sauce over it. Simple, but EXTREMELY yummy, and it's not any Christmas without it.
Smoked and fried and cooked sheep head is served with the same, and also a traditional food here. Those that like it a lot tell that the eyes are the best part. 😛
Speaking as someone who doesn’t like offal, haggis is bloody lovely.
Olroight govna! Chip chip cheerio !
@@greyziedaddy9853 lol. Only white people offals are edible to him..
I like the way in which many countries are represented in this comment section with their variation on the haggis theme. In Tanzania they have a similar dish made with goat offal and stuffed in the intestines. I tasted it when I first visited the country in 2015. It's called "boma", absolutely scrumptious!
In Turkey we got similar dishes made with sheep intestines and stomachs. Sheep intestines and abomasums(part of stomach) filled with rice or bulgur, onion, spices, minced lamb and tomato or pepper paste. The made with intestine ones Called as mumbar other one is called as shirdan. Also intestines and stomachs could be eat numerous ways in Turkey. Such as ishkembe(stomach) or kokorets(intestines). And these foods are very popular throughout Turkey.
I love Turkish food 😋 😍
We have this same dish in Algeria, love it!
In Corfu Greece, I ate the Greek version of Korkoret. I love it. I'm sure if ever visit Türkiye I would eat it often
I am so proud of being scottish❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As an Englishman I can say Haggis is one the best foods ever invented.
I absolutely love it
the two scotsmen who had me believing haggis was something else all those years ago…too funny haha
What did they convince you? 🙂
Sheep brain? :b
The mountain haggis .Two short leg's two long, so they can run round the mountains.
@@DWFood theres an animal called a haggis in scotland even though i have necer seen it in person but i have seen pictures im not sure if its real or not
Boti (ಬೋಟಿ) a Sheep/goat spare parts such as liver, lungs, heart , stomach and intestine with little fat is cooked together in India especially South India which is heavenly delicious....
Yesss, it's usually intestines here in kerala
@@vishnu2407 hello my name brother
But the stink man. It's awful
@@matheenarifkhn3548 only stinks while cooking
@@matheenarifkhn3548 it's a lot better to eat the meat only.. Liver and intestine stinks.
It sounds delicious 😋! In my country we have something similar, it is made with mixed organs and spices but we use rice instead of oats and cook it in the intestine. Bahur is its name and we buy some fresh from the butcher's every once in a while.
When I was in Scotland, at the Glamis Arms Inn I had mushrooms stuffed with haggis and topped with stilton. Absolutely delicious.
That sounds amazing. I bet the stilton really helped those flavors shine.
In Algeria, it's very famous we call it " 'Osbann" and we make it with rice and a lot of natural things. It's an important meat when we celebrate 'Aid el kebir... thanks, selem and Love from Algeria
Alhamdulillah 🥰😁
From India here, absolutely love pork gizzards and intestines. It's a delicacy here along with spices and bamboo shoots.
Pigs dont have gizzards but I'm sure whatever it is, is good.
@@jeil5676 my mistake, I thought Gizzards meant liver and all 😅
@@jeil5676 Lmao this confused me for a second. I didn't remember seeing a gizzard when I butchered my hogs.
@@LUFFY09789 In UK they call that offal or pluck.
Yeah, chicken gizzard is ok.
Had haggis at a Scottish pub here in Indianapolis...it was amazing. If you like liver, you'd like it. I actually went back and ate it several more times. Sadly the pub went under, like so many other restaurants, during the COVID lockdown.
Aww,I was about to ask you which pub.Sorry to hear it went under (I’d love to try this) bc of Covid.We too had some losses of good food during that time.
I wonder how they got hold of it? Haggis is illegal to import into the USA - they have some restrictions on importing certain types of offal, which are contained in Haggis, I believe...
Being an Indian, the moment he said 'Garam Masala' ooh yeahh Let's go Haggis😂😂😂
I felt the same
Yeah, quite a lot of haggis has some interesting spices in it.
Imagine before british colonisation what the haggis would’ve tasted like🤢
In Crete/Greece we have a similar plate, called "omathies" ...we use animal (pork or lamb, guts stuffed with a mix of internal organs, rice and spices
I love haggis! When I was at Edinburgh I ate it every day, and I can tell the quality of the haggis when eaten in a cafe, pub or restaurant. Make sure to accompany the meal with a good whiskey and you are set!
Muito obrigada por ter vindo comentar no meu canal foi um prazer ter você aqui😊
In Germany we have something you get everywhere: Leberwurst - liver sausage. I love it. Its made from either poultry, pig, or calf liver. You get it either very fine or more on the chunky side. Seems like this would come pretty close to haggis.
One day I want to take a trip to Scotland and will definetely give it a try. 😍
Ich kenne beides und muss sagen: Haggis schmeckt ganz anders als Leberwurst. Es kommt eher Richtung Lamm-Hack mit knusprigen Getreidestückchen drin. Und durch die Muskatblüte drin geht der Geschmack auch ein bisschen in Richtung Blutwurst. Ich fands wahnsinnig lecker.
@@alicelengauer8805 mhhh... klingt interessant. Danke für deine Beschreibung. Bin zwar niemand, der gern Lamm isst, aber ich probiere trotzdem immer alles. 😁
@@alicelengauer8805 Ich finde Haggis ist ähnlich zu Panhas
@@alicelengauer8805 The taste of Haggis is difficult to describe but you have done a good job there. I`m Scottish with a German wife so I`m familiar with Leberwurst, Blutwurst etc.
I would describe Haggis as having a rich gamey, mealy, spicy peppery sort of taste 🤔
@@markwilkie3677 The major difference from German wurst is that the latter are fairly homogeneous, the same throughout. Haggis isn't, although the suet fat does bind the meat together. It's quite edible cold, although the sweetness of the neeps (rutabaga/swede), also heavily peppered (black pepper, not sweet peppers, although they might be an innovative addition, if stuffed with haggis) is not to be forgotten. Scotland is a cold country, and the additional carbohydrates bolster against the rain.
I am Italian but I lived one year and half in the Scottish Highlands. I cried watching this ... ❤
They are all beautiful and gorgeous animals.
Another one for the bucket list. Must taste haggis once in my life. Or perhaps several times. Scotland is magical. I wish I can live there.
I was told that Haggis was an aminal that could only be found in Scotland
I'm afraid you may have been misinformed
Scotland is a beautiful country. ❤️ Love from Bangladesh
Reminds me of that one time I caught a wild haggis. It was fantastic.
You disgust me !
The wild haggis is a protected species, teetering on the verge of extinction. You casually slaughter one and boast about it 😠
We, as Kurds, share similar dishes, but our use of ingredients like rice, minced meat, and nuts such as almonds or walnuts varies and raisins. Its really delicious especially during winter is amazing time for this food.
We have something so similar in the Northeast region of Brasil! It’s is called “buchada” and I love it!!!
I normally HATE organ meats like hearts kidneys etc. but i love Haggis, for some reason the spices and the oatmeat turn it into something good, its literally the only way you can get me to eat organ meats 🤤 everyone should try it at least once
Lol same. The only organ I normally would eat is chicken skin.
Had the opportunity to try Haggis in the U.S from a co-worker that made it himself. It was really good, I'd definitely eat it again without hesitation.
We do have it in North Africa it s called osban,from the 13th Centery made with meat,liver,heart,kidney,onion,parsley and rice and black pepper,dry mint,garlic,dried rose ,paprika
In Germany we have something similar. Its called "Saumagen"
haha. selten so gelacht. saumagen und haggis. fehlt nur noch presskopf und tote oma. 😂😂😂😂
It really is amazing. I've had the honour to eat it, I'm English, it's the best thing to ever come out of Jockland.
I’m Singaporean and lived in England for many years.....and I love ❤️ Haggis!👍👍
We have such traditional dish in Algeria, we call it O'osbana and almost every family cooks it especially during Eid El Adha
Always good to learn about my ancestors' history!
'mon the haggis! Adore it. I didn't fancy black pudding until I tried it sometime last year. Absolutely love it now!
Full of lovely stuff. I eat one every few months. Especially on burns night and new year.
Hello and thank you for the lovely video on Haggis. I'm from Romania 🇷🇴(Eastern Europe) and here we call it "caltabosh"😅 It's almost the same but most people use more pok meat to stuff it. We used to eat it in Winter, but nowadays, in the city, it's only eaten at Christmas dinner. I believe you can also find it with different names at our neighbours (Bulgaria, Serbia and even Ukrain).
Anyway, it's lovely to find something we have in common with Scotland. Love from Romania 🇷🇴 ❤️
Shkembichi (Serbia)☺️
@@katarinaradic7243 ☺️ Thank you
I was once in Scotland as a Dutch truckdriver, and I had to have it. I love it. In the Netherlands I never could find it.
First tried it in 1977 at the Scottish Association dinner for Robert Burns night in Liverpool.
Loved ever since.
In Tunisia we have Osban, very similar to Haggis, and idk how Haggis tastes like but Osban is DELICIOUS, don't be discouraged by the stomach and the liver and all that stuff...
I tried Haggis when I was 15 for the first time in Edinburgh. My family was grossed out by it. I loved it. It was also the first time I tried Scotch, which I also loved. I love Scotland very much. It’s such a beautiful country, rich with history.
Its very good, reminds me of our "jitrnice" which is a barley-organ-blood sausage. Definitely one of the best foods you can get while visiting the UK.
Headed to Scotland can’t wait to try it.
Haggis and blood sausage is also an Icelandic dish dating back from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Different recipes, consistensies, flavors and colors, but still haggis.
Mhmmmm🤤 i‘m going to Scotland for the first time next month and haggis has been on my list for a long long time. I can’t wait to finally try some authentic haggis🥰
I am Scottish, we can't make a traditional recipe without oats. I left Scotland to go overseas to live and there is so much wheat in every thing, it's not the same, I never realise how important oats are in Scottish cuisine until I left, it is not just a stereotype, oats are a Scottish staple.
Eskimo Haggis has whale, seal and penguin offal with lots and lots of luscious lard. We cook it in seawater. Yummi!!!
This video is wonderful.
I would love to travel to Scotland to have some haggis
To taste.
I was already in your fascinating country when I was younger, but back then me and my friend were more focused on your really delicious whiskeys during our motorcycle tour.
As I get older, I have to admit that I missed your dishes
Awesome!
Wish I know about this place when I was in Glasgow!
go to a real one not some irish moneygrabber
I'm from Kentucky USA, and unlike a lot of areas in the u.s. liver and gizzards are pretty much a traditional stable food, and I have always gotten livers anytime I get fried chicken at a restaurant. So when I realized that the oh so scary haggis was just oatmeal and livers and such I had to try it. I was right and it was delicious! I love the iron rich flavor that organ meat has. If any one else loves liver like I do, try cutting up a liverwurst with diced potatoes and spices and roasting it with some butter. I promise you won't regret.
It looks really good.
I love liver but we use lot of spices to mellow out the gamines! In bengali we call it 'Mete' and we make delicious mete chocchori with it. Yumm! 🤤🤤
Aye! That we made lad! - Chefs in Scotland.
We have a dish semilaire to this one here in Algeria, north Africa, and the stomach is to be eaten as well and it's so tasty ! It's served with couscous most of the time.
I love eating haggis, I ate them a lot when I lived in the UK and Netherlands. Too bad, it seems nowhere to be found in Jakarta
I enjoy that the captions say “awful” instead of “offal”. double meaning 😂
Ww have something similar in the mountains of the Caucasus, our national food. I often make it myself, as many other women of my nationality. Loved the video♥️
Everybody has soul food it seems.
Lived in Edinburgh for a year and 6 months, Visa ran out moved back to B.C. thankfully there are british stores here where I can still get my irn bru, haggis and black pudding!!
We can buy something very close to this in our local walmart in the usa. It is the same rice, pork, onion and liver in stomach lining, and it looks like sausage, i have some in my fridge now. I am largely Nordic and Celtic. So its something i love to eat alot. 💪🏻💪🏻
Loved in Scotland for a year for school. I’m back in America and dear god I miss it. Legalize it America.
My friend brought me canned haggis once. I had never had haggis, but it was delicious from the first to the last bite. Of course, I made it with neeps & tatties.
That was just canned haggis. I can't even guess how tasty it would be in a restaurant, but even if they serve me the same canned haggis, I would still be happy!
I need to visit Scotland before I die.
The Philippines has a dish called Bopis wherein the lungs and the heart of a pig are sauteed with tomatoes,onions, and spices. I'm pretty sure Filipinos such as I are going to like Haggis.
It's absolutely delicious!
I would definitely eat haggis looks very good
Reminds me a bit of boudin, a sausage style adored in East Texas and Louisiana.
I'm from Germany and I really enjoyed Haggis in Scotland.
Im going to Edinburgh this weeked im looking forward to trying Haggis!❤️
I like Scottish food,I like Scottish people and I like Scottish music! And I am from Uzbekistan!My friend from Scotland suggested that I try haggis.. I asked what ingredients are used there? He answered me that this dish is made from an animal haggis that lives on the mountain. It has two legs, one of which is short, so it moves around the mountain. It was a funny answer.)))
In Brazil we have "buchada de bode" 🐐 ✌️
Mura raman nig Bopis mads! Kalami ani!
I'm from Portugal in my hometown Pombal, one of the typical dish is a variation of Haggis, called Tortulhos!
had it at a whiskey tasting for the first time. Tasted really good, wasn’t expecting all those different spices.
In Northern Croatia there's a similar dish called "devenica" , a kind of blood sausage, but unlike the German style it's made from ground pork innards and buckwheat and put into pig's intestine, and too give it moisture usually pig blood is also added into the mix
That looks so good
Thanks For This !+)
Very Interesting 🤔
I WANT HAGGIS!!! 😋
As a Scotsman, my favourite way to eat haggis is with a nice Scottish breakfast, sometimes as a substitute for black pudding. If you can get Stornaway black pudding, have both.
It looks delicious!
Been scottish and vegan for about 3 years.
My mouth still waters at this.
Haggis is heaven.
I’ll have to try this someday
Haggis is best eaten after several largish doses of Scotland's most famous liquid product. It's quite nice then. Hot sauce helps too, although the Scots might look at you funny.
I'm giving this comment a funny look
@@camthebam10 Oh aye, feel free...I'm used to it by now.
@@camthebam10 liquid product?
@@melonie_peppers Scotlands most famous Liquid Product!!????
Nah you’re just missing the beans
We have something similar to this in Türkiye. It is called işkembe dolması. But the stomach can also be eaten if you wish.
I'd try it for sure.
Looks delicious! ❤️❤️❤️
It was!
Tasty as good as it sounds
In Brazil we call it "Buchada de bode".
Haggis is part of the romanian cuisine, it's slightly different as we use pork meat. It is called "caltaboș"
Thank you
I'm in Scotland and we honestly don't eat that much haggis despite it being called the national dish. So far this year I've eaten far more Italian, Indian and Chinese food than I have haggis. I might buy haggis 2 or 3 times a year, and my rare takeaways might include a haggis supper alongside the far more popular fish & chips.
Looks good
Looks yummy.
Haggis is not some kind of weird alien thing, you can pick one off the shelf in any British supermarket. It's one of my favourite foods.
