5. Haggis
weird foods around the world Hagiis
Country of origin: Scotland
They say that a true Scotsman is brave and has lots of guts which one can believe to be true especially since Scots like to eat haggis so much. Haggis is a kind of savoury pudding made from heart, lungs, liver of a sheep (also known as sheep’s pluck), minced with salt, onion, spices, suet and oatmeal. All of these ingredients are then encased in sheep stomach thought for some they may use an artificial casing. Like its fellow weird foods the sight of haggis is unappealing to the casual observer, but as anyone who has eaten this food can tell you it has a tasty savoury flavor and good nutty texture which more than makes up for its unappealing appearance. It is unknown how old the haggis is, but recipes of it have been floating around since 1430.
