I can testify that _this_ haggis is absolutely delicious and still fun for freaking out otherwise stalwart fighter-types.

I have a haggis-inspired sweet pudding recipe: Sweet Haggis
Adapted from the Scottish Womens' Rural Association Cookery Book
A subtletie of sorts, really a steamed oat pudding with no nasty old
sheep-guts.
1/4 lb. beef suet
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups oatmeal [toast it first]
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 cup cold water
muslin bag to cook it in
Toast oatmeal at 400°F for 10 minutes. Skin and chop or grate suet
finely. Mix all ingredients together until soft consistancy. Wet muslin
bag and put mixture into it until more than half full [to allow for
expansion of oatmeal]. Sew or tie up tightly and put it on an old plate
inside a large pot of boiling water. Boil for 3 hours; then serve with
all due ceremony, perhaps accompanied with fake bagpipes and fake poetry.
I use half steel-cut and half rolled oats, the former for chewy
consistancy and the latter for binding power. The true vegetarian crowd
can use shortening in a pinch. I also like to add 1 tsp. mixed spice to
the mix.
Happy Hogmany,
Selene
