I use flaxseed eggs myself, BTW, with good results in everything but brownies (avoid that at all costs) -- grind 1 tablespoon of whole seeds and add 2 tablespoons of water to equal 1 egg. Great binder with a walnutty taste.

But a lentil loaf is a loaf of lentils. What makes vegetarian haggis a haggis and not just a casserole?

Esophagus, ew!

I make mine in ramekins so they are shaped like the real thing. A haggis is just a roundish oat-and-sheep-toes sausage.

There is a Scottish pub by my office that serves vegetarian haggis as one of their specialties. In fact, they serve a vegetarian version of all of their entrees and appetizers.

The vegetarian haggis is served with neeps and tatties. You'll never miss the stomach and esophagus.

Here's one with rice and no eggs. Put ketchup or barbeque sauce on the top:

1 1/2 cups lentils
3 1/2 cups water or vegetable broth
2 onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cups pre-cooked rice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Not sure who would want to cook haggis, but it seems that some people want to talk and write about it.

It seems to me to be one of those dishes that are slated for extinction in the 21st Century.
Weather its a lambs esophagus, toes or legs - it's all gross to me.
