I didn't say the original/older version wasn't the organ meats in the stomach.
I just said that none of the recipes for this version I had in the
Florilegium were documentably period. I know that some aren't or at
least they aren't medieval. Not with the chili peppers and other things
like that.
But I would love to get any evidence for that kind of haggis being period.

Okay. You might also be interested in looking at some of the info in
the puddings-msg file. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether
something is a pudding, sausage or haggis.
And to think, not so long ago the only pudding I was familar with was
the instant stuff you make by dumping the packet of dry powder in milk
and then chilling it.
