Well, not quite the same. I am unable to re-use my Titus Andronicus recipe.
So how about this one?

Edgar Allan Poe's Recipe for Haggis

Sausage in a stomach bag is what a Scotsman calls a haggis.
Haggis makes the Scotsman hairy. Haggis makes the Scotsman brave.
Follow closely my instruction, you can test it to destruction,
Home-made haggis in a bag is such a dish as heroes crave,
Such a dish is so delicious, what they wish and what they crave,
Heroes risen from the grave.

Get your butcher to deliver, of a sheep, heart, lungs and liver,
Chop them finely with an onion, oatmeal, suet, salt and spice.
Boil with water in a copper for as long as you think proper.
Stuff your stomach, boil your sausage for as long as will suffice,
Boil with turnips and potatoes for as long as will suffice.
'Neeps and tatties' mashed are nice.

Scottish chippies do it with chips - good if the chips are fat and greasy and you make with the vinegar and brown sauce.
