Also compulsory is the eating of haggis, a concoction of minced offal, fat and oatmeal stuffed into a sheep’s stomach (a BBC recipe’s final instruction is “eat and then belch loudly or throw up”).

They might pretend to love fine dining, but when on the hoof, many Brits still prefer to fill their faces with offal and saturated fat.

Composition: ovine meat and bone meal? Produced from the solid material left over after the dehydration of the offal and removal of the fat.
