What exactly is a haggis? In his Complete Dictionary of Etymology, Professor Skeat defines the haggis as a "dish commonly made in a sheep's maw, of minced lungs, hearts, and liver of the same animal".However, the haggis is much more than a mere meal. The haggis, or some version of it, may be found in the histories of countries as varied as ancient Greece, Sweden, and the United States. Yet the haggis is most closely associated with Scotland and has come to represent that country just as pasta represents Italy.Scotland may thank its beloved bard, Robert Burns, for this.
