Peggy thank you for explaining my mistake. I tend to just hit buttons, but looking at the instructions does help a bit.
Scottie--I detiled the background and now I have a tile on my own desk top for some reason which I cannot remove---the tile I mean. It is covering up my lovely Felix the Cat image. I will figure it out. Okay, I saw one thing that possibly looked like the top of a berry. But there is some other stuff that just doesn't look like berries to me. The name of the "design" is bgbrew. I think that stands for blood and gore brew.
Cranberry---don't be scared. Another extremely strange thing that fits in with your Sacred Heart image is WHO SINGS THESE ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS?????? A NUN!!!!!
I think we may be getting somewhere. This is crocheted (I really had to find out what exactly a snood was, setting me back abit on my haggis research):
It's not that much of a stretch to imagine someone soaking it in gore and then photographing it. Well, the color of this one is wrong, of course.
I was very happy that the whatever-it-is looks like that as I don't often get the opportunity to use the word "snood". "Gore", either, for that matter.
"Snood" is one of the silliest-sounding words in English, along with "propinquity".
I'm starting to lean toward Peggy's guess. The color is not quite as bright, but the variation in color and the texture are there. I guess there is a certain shininess lacking. I will have to try to find a picture of uncooked haggis I suppose. But now, really, I must practice my whistle.
Why would one do that? The whole point of The Haggis is that it's a sheep's stomach stuffed with offal. Yummy.
I seem to remember seeing a website that sold haggis by mail order - and yes, they offered vegetarian haggis.
What was in it, I have no idea. But I've had vegetarian asian food where the fake "meat" was quite convincing, so it might well taste as good - or not - as real haggis.

I've eaten some 'fake meat', especially bacon and bacon bits, where I've felt guilty afterwards. It seems so real. At least, compared to what I can remember. It's been years and years since I had real bacon in my mouth.

Hmmm. Could've been wheat gluten for the meaty bits, maybe even for the "stomach" analog. Or really messed-with tofu for the gluten-intolerant. I DO like gluten-based fake meats. Very tasty when done right.
When it comes to the haggis, though, I think I'd want the real thing.
