Haggis is a Scottish dish prepared using a sheep stomach, oatmeal, suet, and some of the other internal organs of a sheep (usually liver, heart and lungs). In fiction, haggis is often viewed as disgusting, in which case no characters will eat or touch it. Sometimes they might first ask what’s in it, and look dismayed at the answer. Other times they might begin to eat it and spit it across the room in disgust upon finding out what's in it. Whatever the reason, it never seems like anybody wants to eat haggis besides the Scottish guy in a kilt. In fact, the United States FDA has banned traditional haggis from sale and import, as it includes lung (known when used as offal in Britain as "lights"), which is not considered fit for human consumption in the US (contrary to most of the meat-eating world). In reality, because the ingredients are ground up before being stuffed into the stomach, haggis is essentially a large mutton sausage with an unusually thick casing—remember that your garden variety sausage can contain some disgusting-sounding offal, and they don't generally tell you what it is. Moreover, modern store-bought haggis (i.e. most haggis) is made with a standard manufactured sausage casing (like you'd find on pretty much any mass-market British sausage), so basically a modern, mass-produced haggis is a short, thick mutton sausage with entirely known ingredients. People should find it more appealing than the bangers you get at the supermarket... If you must know, haggis basically tastes like a cross between a hamburger and a sausage, or peppery mince. And yes, it really is delicious. Laddie/Lassie. Robert Burnsnote referred to, variously, as Scotland's favourite son, or "The Bard" - yes, equating him (at least poetically) with Shakespeare wrote a poem about it - Address to a Haggis - that is read, in full, as the Haggis is presented during a Burns Night supper — which consists of Haggis, naturally enough, accompanied by the traditional Neeps and Tatties.note Swede (aka rutabaga) and Potatoes A Sub-Trope of Foreign Queasine. Compare Stock "Yuck!". Not to be confused with Hägar the Horrible (though a gag in that comic strip involves haggis). |

In an episode of Samurai Jack, Jack visits The Scotsman's home town, and is presented with a feast of haggis. Jack promptly exclaims "Eww!" and holds his nose due to the smell from it before asking what it is and getting told "a sheep's stomach filled with meat and barley". | |

In the hour-long Darkwing Duck crossover episode of DuckTales (2017), Scrooge requests some haggis for an experiment involving a Reality Warper alchemy machine. Upon its arrival, he tries it to verify its authenticity, while Louie tries it out of curiosity. Their reactions are expectedly different. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In a Donald Duck story by Carl Barks, "Mystery of the Loch," Donald's first attempt to photograph Nessie ends with him running away. His nephews go to a local shop to buy "courage," and the shopkeeper offers up haggis instead. After one bite (and disproportionate reaction), Donald is raring to go after Nessie again... on the grounds that, after tasting haggis, nothing else can frighten him anymore. In a different Scrooge McDuck story by Don Rosa, "Dream of a Lifetime", Donald meets Scrooge in a dream about his uncle's childhood in Scotland. When Donald succumbs to Cuteness Proximity upon the sight of young Scrooge, Scrooge begs him to go easy because he ate haggis that morning. |

When they are taken to a culture festival at the park, they are mistaken for girls by two older boys, who then decide to chase them and beat them up when the ruse is revealed. They are then saved by a clan of Scotsbabies who believe them to be fellow Scotsbabies from the Clan of the Duck (because the skirts had duck pictures. After all was said and done, they played together (along with Tommy and Lil who came in later) and shared Haggis. The twins actually like it even when they get told it's made from "Sheep guts!" | |

Subverted twice in Masterchef: In Season 2, a Glaswegian woman named Pauline entered with a dish that used haggis and Scottish salmon, wrapped en croute in pastry and served with whisky and dill sauce. Joe (who had never tried haggis before) disliked the dish, but Graham (who had tried haggis before) and Gordon Ramsay (who is Scottish) loved it. In Season 7 of Masterchef Australia, Fiona used haggis to great effect, and even judge Matt Preston, who was apprehensive about the idea of eating haggis, was impressed enough by the dish to give her the Master Chef apron. |

Haggis is mentioned as one of the things Duncan McSmurf likes to eat in the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf story "The Smurf Impersonators", but Duncan simply has Sassette mention this to the other Smurfs just to hear their reactions. No word yet as to whether Duncan actually does eat haggis, or what it is even made of in the Smurf Village. | |

Johnny Bravo: In "Loch Ness Johnny", where Johnny goes to Scotland, he gets chased by the Loch Ness Monster because it wants his haggis. He gets it in the end, but after a William Wallace Expy tells him what's in it he gladly gives it to the Monster, earning its friendship. However, the trope is still downplayed because Johnny was actually enjoying the haggis until after he's told what's in it. | |

Pessimal has since expanded on the canonical idea of the Klatchian Sheep's Eye - basically, a disgusting foodstuff deliberately offered to a visitor, with a totally straight face, in the expectation that it cannot be refused out of politeness. The locals then gain a moment of mirth at the expense of the hapless visitor. He argues every Discworld country does this to naive visitors. In The Price of Flight, a novice pilot sent to the Discworld's "Scandinavia" gets the learning opportunity to politely decline hakarl in Island, lutefisk in the Skaggeraks, and surstrommong in Hubsvensska. She then gets offered salmiakki and mammi in Swommi. | |

Ramirez in Highlander. Connor MacLeod calls him a haggis, and he asks what it is. It's especially funny since Sean Connery, who plays Ramirez, was a proud Scot, and Christopher Lambert, who plays Connor, isn't. | |

Casino Royale (1967) has Sir James Bond at M's wake — the enemy agent posing as his widow details the preparation of the haggis traditionally made for the occasion; James incredulously gulps "and...eat it?"note Ironically, the original novels gave Bond Scottish ancestry, as a 2012 Bond flick, Skyfall, explicitly acknowledged. | |

In the Duck Dynasty episode where they visit Scotland, the meal at the end of the episode includes haggis. Even the Robertsons (who have grown up eating wild game of all sorts, and in a later episode eat nutria rat sausage) aren't sure about the haggis, but John Godwin decides to take a chance on it. | |

Kingdom of Loathing somewhat subverts this with the ThinkNerd items. Spoofing ThinkGeek and various geeky items, haggis is very much enjoyed. In fact, one of the jokes is that all the references to haggis in the products are actually a mirror to the numerous bacon products in geek culture and beyond. | |

Daphne from Frasier once scared the rest of the family out of the house (so she could have a date over) by loudly announcing she was going to cook haggis and sheep's head stew for dinner. | |

Garfield: A Tale Of Two Kitties simultaneously averts and plays it straight thanks to the Prince and Pauper plot involving the titular cat and Prince, the aptly-named Identical Stranger. Haggis is said to be Prince's favorite dish, but when his bulldog assistant Winston offers it to Garfield and explains what it's made of, our hero, famous though he is as a Big Eater, politely turns it down. Instead, he gets all the animals on the estate to work together to make — what else? — enough lasagna to serve to everyone. | |
