From some dictionary, used without permission, but I figured if they really
wanted me to know things they wouldn't copyright them ;-) :
hag'is n. A Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs,
and liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings,
and boiled in the stomach of the animal. [ME hagese.]
Hmm. Are you *positive* we're talking about the same thing?

haggis although trace amounts of cesium and some various kinds of soft
biowaste are added whenever in season.
