Haggis

Lamb's traditional Scottish haggis is available in three different forms - The chieftan's haggis as pictured above is in the sheep's paunch and is perfect for large gatherings - The smaller sheep's stomach is used for the standard haggis and varies in weight from about one to three pounds - A link form packaged in approximatly two pound packages with eight links weighing about 1/4 pound each.

The Chieftan's Paunch can range in weight from five to twenty pounds, but the average is about eight to ten pounds. For a large party where the haggis is served as an adjunct to the main meal and not all the guest will sample it, I suggest that you calculate about 2 ounces per person. An eight pound haggis will thus serve about 64 people.

The Scottish crofter used the handy casing of the butchered sheep to create a unique sausage that would hold enough to serve his family. When cooked in the boiling kettle over their warming fire along with neeps and tatties, it made a complete, tasty and very healthy meal.

For the Haggis lover. Links are easy to prepare and each 1/4 pound link is an ample serving for one.
