- This recipe for haggis is from the Guildford Cathedral Cook Book ([N.p.,
- n.d.]), submitted to the book by Kenneth McCrae Hall.

- Take the stomach of a sheep and wash it well. Leave it to soak for
- several hours in cold salt water. Then turn out and pour scalding water
- on it and scrape with a knife. Now clean a sheep's pluck well. Pierce
- the heart and liver in several places, then boil the liver and lights
- for an hour and a half. When these have been boiled for 15 minutes change
- the water, and during the last half hour let the pluck be boiled with
- them. Trim away the skins and discard any discoloured parts. Grate half
- the liver and mince all the rest finely. Add a pound of finely shredded
- meat, two chopped onions, half a nutmeg grated and a pinch of cayenne
- pepper. Moisten with half a pint of good gravy and the juice of a small
- lemon. Put the mixture into the bag prepared for it. Allow for swelling
- in cooking. Sew up securely and plunge into water. Boil gently for
- three hours. Prick at times with a needle to let air out. Serve hot at
- once.
