Tatties and neeps, love them and grew up with them. Never did haggis
and would never as I hate lung.

Minced sheep's liver, lungs, and heart (the "pluck"), mixed with
suet, and spices, sewn into the sheep's stomach bag
and boiled. I grew
up
in Edinburgh with the stuff and I hate it, but many
consider it a
delicacy.
Traditionally served with boiled mashed potatoes
("tatties") and turnip
("neeps") and on special occasions like Burn's Night with a glass of
whisky. Search for "Macsween" on the web -- theirs are widely rated the
best.
I've only once seen it served for breakfast, thank goodness. I put that
on
a par with the person I saw eat two raw onions with a
cup of coffee for
breakfast.
