Yes I have. It was ok, but nothing special. In its purest form it was subsistence food for the masses - cheap grain and offal combined with readily available condiments, all prepared in the simplest (and grossest) fashion i.e. boiled until it was all mashed into one uniform lump. Seriously, they didnt stop until it hung out a white flag!! Haggis is the ancient form of an electric blender.

And if you are poor and just getting by up in the damp, dreary Highlands with the midges and the fleas that's fine. Better to eat than not to. Its the advertisers who have rebadged it as some kind of "luxury" food - to me a blatant attempt to make a virtue out of a neccesity - that I blame. Scots at least can see the distinction. Very few of them eat the stuff by choice now. The new national food of Scotland is assorted curry dishes. Haggis is for tourists and export.
