Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin’-race!
(Robert Burns, Address to the Haggis)
Haggis, neeps, and tatties is a traditional Scottish dish, commonly associated with Burns Night on January 25th, celebrating the poet Robert Burns (born 25 January 1759). Haggis is a savory pudding made from sheep’s offal (heart, liver, and lungs), mixed with oats, suet, and spices, encased in a stomach or synthetic casing. “Neeps” (turnips) and “tatties” (potatoes) are served mashed alongside, with a dram (a glass of Scotch whisky). This dish is deeply rooted in Scottish culture and has been enjoyed for centuries, particularly in Scotland but also by Scottish communities worldwide.
