Haggis - The Breakfast of Champions

Not much time to blog this morning - will catch up tonight. Met our tour group last night, ate and hiked back to the room.

We decided to try the full Scottish breakfast this morning at the urging of our Scottish tour guide. It had many local delicacies such as "HAGGIS." See the definition below. We are off for the day but will post new pics later.

Haggis is a dish containing sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach. YUMMY!!!!
