But are you looking for period recipes? Or the "traditional" ones?

Haggis is a lot like kilts. You have to be careful about what is  
period and more recent. Both seem to get more interest now than they  
did in period.

You can find both some period and traditional haggis recipes in this  
file, as well as some commentary on canned haggis (it's generally to  
be avoided). Also I seem to remember that a number of the period  
haggis recipes I have are actually more vegetarian than meat.

Well, a bit more complex than scrapple.
