In the very broadest sense a haggis is a sausage being ground meat encased in a skin in which it is cooked. It is not sausage shaped being almost globular in form whereas sausages tend to be generally tubular. In shape it might be best described as pudding shaped and might be called a ground meat pudding. A haggis was described by Robert Burns the Scottish poet as "great chieftain o' the pudding race". So perhaps we ought, as he was without doubt one of the greatest of Scots, to side with his opinion and call it a pudding and not a sausage.
