This appears to be an article about haggis, a traditional Scottish dish made from sheep's heart, liver, and lungs, mixed with onions, oatmeal, and spices. Here is a summary of the article:

**Haggis is thriving in Scotland**

* The country produces around 2 million haggises every year, accounting for half of global consumption by volume.
* Haggis retails in Scotland for around £6 ($7.70) per kilogram, making it a relatively affordable and nutritious option.

**Fine dining and ethnic cuisine**

* Haggis is often used in fine dining alongside leaner meats like venison or as a stuffing for poultry and game birds.
* Its spicy intensity makes it useful in canapés and as a crouton-borne garnish for soups.
* The dish has become popular among Scotland's ethnic minorities, with Glasgow's Sikh community pioneering haggis pakora in the 1990s.

**Haggis is a symbol of Scottish identity**

* For many Scots, haggis is a staple of national cuisine and a badge of belonging.
* Even young rugby players like Ross O'Cinneide see haggis as a symbol of their country's heritage.

**Production and sales**

* Simon Howie Butchers, one of Scotland's largest producers of haggis, estimates that they account for around 60% of the country's haggis production.
* The company's versatile haggis is widely available in supermarkets and restaurants across Scotland.
 
I'm so done with people putting 'spices' instead of 'spice' 🤦‍♂️... it's just a small word, but consistency matters! Anyway, I think its great that haggis is thriving in Scotland - who wouldn't want to try a traditional dish that's also super nutritious? 🥩 The fact that it's affordable too is a bonus. And can we talk about how versatile it is? From fine dining to ethnic cuisine, and even in sports (like Ross O'Cinneide, nice one!), haggis really has something for everyone. I'm curious though - have you guys ever tried haggis before? 🤔
 
omg u no wot? 😂 i think its so cool dat haggis is thrivin in scotland! 🍴 like, who knew it was producin 2 miln haggises evry yr? 💥 thats a lotta sheep liver 🤪 and oatmeal mixed together. i also luv how its usin fine dinin ways wiv venison & game birds. pakora sounds like a rad idea tho! 🍗👌
 
I'm loving this resurgence of haggis in the culinary scene! 🍴 As someone who's been fortunate enough to travel and experience different cultures, I have to say that haggis is one of those dishes that really warms my heart - it's like a big ol' hug in a plate 😊. And I think what's great about Scotland's take on it is how they're embracing their heritage while still innovating and making it accessible to everyone. It's not just for traditional Scottish meals anymore! 🌮 I'm also loving the idea of haggis pakora, that sounds like an amazing appetizer 😋. What I think is really cool about haggis too is how it brings people together - whether it's at a family dinner or a game day gathering, it's always a crowd-pleaser 👥. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to indulge in that spicy, savory goodness every now and then? 🤤
 
omg i love how many people care about haggis lol 🤣 but seriously its awesome to see scotland's national dish thrive! i mean who wouldn't want a nutritious & affordable food that also brings ppl together? from fine dining to ethnic cuisine, haggis is like the ultimate symbol of scottish identity. and its great to see simon howie butchers doing their part in making it widely available 🙌 its amazing to think about all those yummy haggis pakoras being devoured by glasgow's sikhs in the 90s 🤯 and now young rugby players like ross o'cinneide proudly enjoying it too 🏉🥩
 
🤔 you know what's weird about this article? it seems like all these mainstream sources are conveniently promoting haggis as if it's some kind of national treasure, but have they ever stopped to think about the actual ingredients? sheep's heart, liver, and lungs... sounds like a whole lot of processed meat to me 🐑💉 i mean, what's really going on with the oatmeal and spices? are those just random additives or is there some deeper meaning at play? 💡 and have you noticed how haggis always seems to be popping up in fine dining and ethnic cuisine? it's like they're trying to normalize this... unusual ingredient 🤷‍♀️ i'm not saying it's bad, but let's keep an open mind here 🤓
 
I'm so over this whole haggis craze... I mean, it's just not as exciting as those Scottish party snacks we used to have back in 2005 🤣... remember those pringles with the haggis flavor? 😂 anyway, I guess it's good that Scotland is getting more into fine dining and ethnic cuisine... but honestly, who needs all this fuss when you can just stick to a classic plate of mac 'n cheese like we used to have at family gatherings 🤪.
 
I'm still stuck on this thing about why everyone loves haggis so much 🤔🇬🇧. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's no' bad or anythin', but £6 a kilo is a bit steep for my taste 😂. Plus, I've tried haggis pakora and it's actually pretty good, but I'm still not convinced it's the best way to enjoy this traditional Scottish dish 🤷‍♂️. On the other hand, seeing all these young rugby players like Ross O'Cinneide embracing their heritage is kinda awesome ❤️. It just goes to show that haggis is more than just a meal, it's a part of who we are as Scots... but I still wonder if there are any veggie haggis options on the market 🤔?
 
I mean, think about it - if haggis is basically a national treasure for Scots, don't we need to be supporting more of our own food producers? I'm all for trade deals and global market access, but shouldn't we be prioritizing local businesses that can bring in revenue without relying on imports? Like, what's the deal with Simon Howie Butchers taking up 60% of haggis production - is it a case of monopolistic dominance or just good business sense? 🤔
 
🐑 Haggis is more than just a Scottish dish, it's a cultural ambassador 🌎. Who knew something as exotic-sounding as sheep's lungs could be so down-to-earth? 😂
 
🤔 I'm skeptical about all this hype around haggis. £6 per kilogram? That's way too expensive for something that's basically just a mixture of offal and grains. And what's with the whole "fine dining" scene? Just because you can put it on a menu doesn't mean it's sophisticated. I bet most people in Scotland are just eating haggis as a lazy way to use up leftover sheep bits. And don't even get me started on its supposed "health benefits". It's still just a bunch of weird organs mixed together... 🥩
 
I'm tellin' ya, something fishy's goin' on with this haggis craze 🐺💰. It's like they're tryin' to brainwash everyone into thinkin' it's a staple of Scottish cuisine or somethin'. Newsflash: have you ever really looked at the ingredients in that stuff? Sheep's lungs, liver, and heart all mixed together with some onions and oatmeal... sounds like a recipe for disaster to me 🤢. And don't even get me started on how it's become a symbol of Scottish identity. That's just a load of hooey, if you ask me. I mean, what's next? Gonna tell us that eating haggis is the key to unlockin' our true heritage or somethin'? 🙄 I'm not buyin' it, folks. There's always more to the story than what they're lettin' on...
 
I'm only catching up on this thread now lol... anyway, I think it's really cool how haggis has become a symbol of Scottish identity for many people 🤷‍♂️. I mean, it's not just about the food itself, but also the history and culture behind it. It's awesome that Glasgow's Sikh community helped bring haggis to their community in the 90s 🙌. And yeah, £6 a kilogram is still pretty reasonable considering how nutritious it is 😂. I've always wanted to try making haggis myself, but I don't know where to start... maybe someone can share some tips? 🤔
 
I'm loving how haggis sales are on the rise 🚀! It's dope that a traditional Scottish dish like this can be both affordable ($7.70/kg) and nutritious. I mean, who wouldn't want to try some spicy haggis pakora? 🍴 The fact that it's become popular among ethnic minorities in Glasgow is fire 🔥. Young rugby players showing pride for their heritage is awesome too! 👏 However, I think the production and sales info could be a bit more detailed - what's the average price point in supermarkets compared to specialty stores? 🤔
 
man... i'm so down for a plate of proper scottish haggis right about now 🤤. but, like, have you seen the price they're charging them days? £6 a kilo is steep, if you ask me 💸. and don't even get me started on the weird stuff they put in it... sheep's liver and lungs? that's just a bit too much for this guy 🙅‍♂️.

on the other hand, i do love how haggis has become this thing that's all about community and shared identity. like, sikh people from glasgow making their own haggis pakora? that's awesome, fam! 🤩 it shows that food can be a powerful way to bring people together and celebrate different cultures.

anyway, i think the scottish obsession with haggis is actually kinda cool 😎. maybe it's because, like, they're trying to make up for all those soggy, rainy days or something ☁️. who knows? but one thing's for sure: if you ever find yourself in scotland, get thee to a plate of proper haggis and neeps, pronto! 🍴
 
I dunno about this haggis craze 🤔. I mean, it sounds like a weird mix of stuff but hey, if it's what Scots are into 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿! 2 million haggises a year is pretty impressive though 💪. I guess it's good that Scotland is proud of its national dish and all that 💕. But, for me, I'll stick to my pizza or sushi 🍕🌱. Don't get me wrong, haggis pakora sounds interesting? Maybe I'll try some 😂... but only if it's served with a side of vegan option options 👀!
 
omg i cant even imagine eating haggis lol its like who comes up with this stuff?? sheep's insides mixed with oatmeal sounds like a weird school lunch 🤣 anyway im glad its super affordable in scotland tho £6 per kilo is crazy cheap compared to whats sold here. but yaaas its amazing how it became popular among ethnic minorities too, i feel like we should try some haggis pakora next time our chinese club has lunch 🍲
