If you don't find Scottish haggis revolting enough you might want to
know that the Icelandic variant doesn't contain any onions or spices to
hide the natural flavour of sheep hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys etc. We
have two variants: one with liver and the other with a generous dose of
blood thrown in. Then we pickle it.
If you ever wonder why some northern Europeans drink schnaps with their
dinner, now you know.

The classic recipe calls for the heart, liver and lung of the sheep to
be chopped up and combined with pinhead (not rolled) oats, onions,
suet, spices and seasoning, then stuffed in a sheep's stomach.

say: 'What do you want to eat?' and I don't ever remember saying:
'Haggis, mom.'"
