Haggis is an ideal dish, it even comes in its own takeout bag. ;’)

I’m sorry, but the whole Scottish diet looks like something devised on a bet, as in, I bet $20 you can’t eat this without puking.

I'm pretty sure that, if presented with it, I'd try it, unless I just couldn't stand the smell. But it doesn't look very good.

My acquaintance says she could eat it until she started cooking it for her husband. The smell while cooking is a large factor in that. You're a better Freeper than I, I spent too much time studying biology/anatomy and physiology to ever be willing to eat internal organs. As for canned....ewwwwwwwww.

I think you just convinced me not to even try it. I'm going to go hurl now...

Don't be. I'm not! This is something I can live without.

I actually like haggis if it’s properly prepared. The ingredients are no more repugnant than those in souse (or headcheese). I used to be fond of that too when freshly prepared. However, the commercial version is full of cartilage and not anything like the original product.

I would much rather have a good haggis than a “mystery meat” taco.
