This article discusses the enduring popularity of haggis in Scotland, with estimates suggesting that around 60% of the roughly two million haggises produced every year come from Simon Howie Butchers. The company's founder, John Howie, attributes buoyant sales to versatility, value for money and convenience.

Haggis can be found on fine dining menus and is also used in dishes inspired by Scotland's ethnic minorities, such as haggis pakora pioneered by Glasgow's Sikh community. Such dishes are not only culinary twists but also badges of belonging, demonstrating the strong connection between Scots identity and haggis.

The article also highlights how haggis has become a staple of Scottish cuisine, with its texture making it suitable for use in fine dining alongside leaner meat or as a stuffing for poultry and game birds. Additionally, its spicy intensity means it is used in canapés and as a crouton-borne garnish for soups.

The article features several anecdotes and quotes from Scots who enjoy haggis, including a 14-year-old rugby player who says his mother makes it for him after matches because of its warming feeling and Scottish heritage.
 
I'm so down for haggis rn 🤩 I mean, can you imagine eating a fine dining dish made from sheep's heart, liver, & lungs but somehow it just works? 😂 The way the article highlights haggis pakora is pure genius - who knew taking Scottish cuisine to an Indian-Scottish fusion would be so delicious? 🤤 My friend's cousin is actually part of that Glasgow Sikh community and I've tried their haggis pakora, it was love at first bite! ❤️ The fact that haggis has become a staple in Scottish identity food is amazing - there's just something about the texture & flavor that makes you feel all warm & fuzzy inside. 💕
 
I mean, come on, the idea that haggis is just about versatility and value for money? That's a bit simplistic don't you think 🤔? I mean, yes, it's convenient to have something that can be used in so many different dishes, but let's not forget the rich history behind this traditional Scottish delicacy. And those Sikh community members who came up with haggis pakora, they're really showing us what it means to be inclusive and creative. Plus, I'm a bit surprised no one mentioned the health benefits of eating haggis regularly 🤷‍♂️, especially for athletes like that rugby player... his mum must have some serious culinary skills! 😂
