Cultural or Historical Background

Traditional Scottish haggis is a savory pudding made from sheep's liver, heart, lungs, onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and broth. Our vegan version replaces the animal ingredients with plant-based alternatives, ensuring a cruelty-free meal while still honoring Scottish culinary traditions.
