It all hinges on the reputation that Scots have as to being mean.
Centuries ago when people travelled if the end of the day came and you
were nowhere, you looked for a house and knocked on the door and odds
on, the family would shelter you, to the best of their ability, for
the night.
It was Johnson got the 'mean' bit going when he travelled in Scotland.
The Scots would provide him with what they had which was pretty mean
fare, they themselves being impoverished by the g d English.
Haggis is made basically from all the bits that could not be sold
easily. Organs, lites etc. ground up with oats added. It actually
(when properly made) has little flavour after boiling, hence one eats
it with neaps, turnips, for the flavour they give. And because neaps
were very readily available. Perhaps it is really just another
variety of sausage.
More than you wanted to know lol

Not really! My grandmother used every conceivable part of a food product
that she could use without poisoning anyone and used to stuff the neck of a
chicken with a concoction made of flour, stewed onions, some seasonings and
lots and lots of rendered chicken fat that could clog your arteries just by
smelling it.
I also remember reading something, somewhere or other, that the origin of
gefilte fish was that you could take a very small amount of nearly any kind
of fish, fill it with some kind of filler, maybe even oatmeal, season it and
feed a bunch of people healthy food.
