Scotland: Food and Drink Haggis is one of the most traditional dishes in Scotland. It is made mostly from sheep. A sheep’s liver, heart, windpipes, and lungs are boiled until done and then minced. This is mixed with oatmeal and then placed in the sheep’s stomach, which is re-sewn and then either boiled or baked until fully cooked. All line up for quite an interesting dish.
