First we conducted a survey of all the

families in our school, to find out their

favourite traditional meals.

Next we counted the results to find the 7

most popular dishes.

And the most popular traditional meals

were….

1. Beef Stew(Slow cooked beef with onions and

vegetables)

2. Bangers and Mash(Pork sausages with mashed potatoes)

3. Fish and Chips

4. Homemade Soup

(Lentils and vegetables)

5. Mince and Tatties(Minced beef with mashed

potatoes)

6. Scotch Pie(A small double crust pie traditionally

filled with mutton and spices)

7. Haggis, Neeps and Tatties(A Scottish delicacy served with

mashed turnip and potatoes)

What is a haggis?

The myth

A haggis is a small three-legged animal

native to the Highland glens and

mountains. Haggis is only available in

season - 30th November (St. Andrews Day)

to 25th January (Robert Burns birthday).

The Haggis is a wild but shy creature

inhabiting upland Scotland The young

haggis is typified in form by being quite

small and squat whilst in advancing years

they tend to be fuller and longer in the

body. Myths about them only having three

legs (one uphill leg and two downhill) are

completely false - they like most legged

creatures have four legs, but their

downhill legs are longer.

Well, that’s what we like to tell the tourists…….

Haggis is a Scottish dish made of the heart, liver

and lungs of a sheep or lamb, combined with

oats, suet and other herbs and spices, and then

cooked in a casing traditionally made of the

animal's stomach. Thus, haggis is essentially a

form of sausage.

There are many stories in

Scotland about the haggis.

Farming in Scotland

As you can see our traditional meals

consist of meat, fish and root

vegetables.

In Scotland farmers breed cows, sheep

and pigs and so beef, lamb and pork

are popular foods.

Root vegetables such as onions,

carrots, neeps (turnip) and tatties (or

potatoes) are easy to grow in our

climate and have always been a part

of traditional meal times.

Making the food!!

We asked the teachers

and some people from

the local community to

help us make the food.
