THE CASING: 3 beef CAPS (Talk to a sausage shop about these). 1 cup distilled white vinegar. 1/2 tablespoon salt for soaking. Place the sheep heart in a 4-quart covered pot and just cover with cold water. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Add the sheep liver and lamb stew meat, and cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the contents of the pot and cool. Reserve 1 cup of the liquid. Grind everything coarsely.
In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients, except for the beef caps, vinegar, and salt for soaking. Mix well and set aside.
Rinse the beef caps in cold water. Turn them inside out and soak them in 2 quarts of cold water with the salt and vinegar for 1/2 hour. Drain them and rinse very well, inside and out.
Divide the meat mixture into three parts. Fill the beef caps with the meat mixture and tie the ends off with string. Two will have to be tied on just one end, but the third piece will be tied on both ends. Prick the Haggis all over with corn holders or a sharp fork. Place in a steamer and steam for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Serve the Haggis, sliced, with beef or lamb gravy.
In a pinch when the sheep parts r not available Beef beef work very well.
