Authentic Scottish food isn’t very fancy, but it is filling, and easy to prepare. Centuries ago, stews, broths, soups, haggis, fish and porridge were what most Scottish people ate. These are basic meals that kept them warm and gave them the strength and energy they needed (Koranki). Scotland's national dish is haggis. Haggis is a Scottish dish containing sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, spices and salt. Traditionally wrapped in the sheep’s stomach, but now most haggis is prepared in a sausage casing. It is traditionally served with turnips, potatoes, black pudding (Food & Drink). Traditional Scottish cooking still exist, but Scotland now has more modern restaurants which still include Scottish food and a large variety of other dishes. The Scottish use many ingredients but some of the most common are. Oats and barley, vegetables such as potatoes, turnips and carrots cabbage, cauliflower, peas and leeks, and soft fruits like raspberries and strawberries which are used in many desserts
