Celebrate The Scots And Cure Your Hankering For Haggis

ROYAL OAK (WWJ) - The annual celebration of Scotland's national poet is coming up.  WWJ's Mike Campbell reports a number of them will include a traditional dish -- but you might not want to know what's in it.

Robert Burns was Scottish and a prolific writer. Among his many 'hits': the new years' song, Auld Lang Syne.

Burns also wrote a humorous ode to haggis, a Scottish dish described by Franklin Dohanyos, Executive Director of the Scottish American Society of Michigan, as sheep's' stomach with ground up heart, liver and lung, plus oatmeal and spices, boiled and then baked.

It'll be served at the group's 3rd annual Burns Supper on Sunday, January 22nd, which is sold out, but if you're craving Haggis, Dohanyos says the Scottish American Society of Michigan website,  will have information on other Burns Supper celebrations in the area.
