Can't resist:

Haggis.  Never made it, doubt I could get anyone to eat it...
  
Straight from Stephan's files... (that flori-thingy is sooooo helpful!)

HAGGIS ROYAL [From the Minutes of Sederun of the Cleikum Club -
that's what the book says, I've no idea what it means]
 
Ingredients:  Mutton, suet, beef-marrow, bread-crumbs or oatmeal,
anchovies, parsley, lemon, pepper, cayenne, eggs, red wine.  [The
anchovies and cayenne are, no doubt, optional]
 
Three pounds of leg of mutton chopped, a pound of suet chopped, a
little, or rather as much beef-marrow as you can spare, the crumb
of a penny loaf (our own nutty-flavoured browned oatmeal, by the
way, far better)[I'd say 1 to 1 1/2 cups of crumbs or toasted
oatmeal], the beat yolks of four eggs, a half-pint of red wine,
three mellow fresh anchovies boned, minced parsley, lemon grate
(grated peel), white pepper, crystals of cayenne to taste -
crystals alone ensure a perfect diffusion of the flavour - blend
the ingredients well, truss them neatly in a veal caul [stomach],
bake in a deep dish, in a quick oven, and turn out. [I'd suggest
375F for 1/2 hour, then turn down to 350F till done] Serve hot as
fire, with brown gravy, and venison sauce.
