Haggis recipe.

Use the legs, skin, beak and pistle to make bagpipes. Then stuff all the remaining meat and organs into the stomach of a sheep along with loads of spice. Tie it off with a stout knot and boil the lot until sterilised. Serve the result with mashed turnip and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.

An old ditty by an unknown author.
“The cuddie rumps aboot the hills a snugger
An shites amang the neibours clays the dirty bugger
The mair the neibours chase him off wi clods an stoor
the mair he shites the dirty hoor.”

I’ve heard other versions too.
