Well I have eaten it once. It's sheep's heart, liver and lungs minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach. It resembles " kokoretsi" of traditional Greek cuisine. I think it's one ove those things that just grow on you.You have to try it a couple of times to like it.

Haggis? Yuk. Sheep intestines stuffed with the grossest goo imagineable.
No, really, Haggis is a Scottish tradition and is supposed to be stuffed with tasty food. It's just that the intestine part is such a turn-off, I've never tried it.

Been offered it and politely refused it, i thought the Scots ate it as a delicacy on special occasions like burns night or hogmany. I didn't know they ate it as you would a fish supper from the chippie. Deep fried haggis and chips. Even black pudding turns my stomach. Another scots delight is steakette. If you eve get the chance go to a Scots chippie and ask for it

My ancestors were all Haggis farmers, and I won't have anybody say a bad word against them. The amount of people who have lost their lives over the years trying to catch the wee buggers is tragic, it really is. Thankfully in modern times with the invention of the quad bike, it's a lot easier and safer to catch them. They are delicious, but I personally only eat them on Burns night with neeps and tatties. A lot of us Scots like to keep them as pets as well, they are quite cute wee things.

It is minced lamb with spices.and barley ..very peppery, originally used to be enclosed in a sheep's stomach, but now it is enclosed in an artificial skin, like sausage skin....can be cooked in a Microwave if you like or cook in Oven or boil....It was originally a peasant food, using oatmeal which was readily available, and the offal left when the sheep had been slaughtered and the good bits taken by the Lord and master.

The smell is like boiled nappies topped with socks worn for a month remember Scottish people have a stingy nettle instead of a flower they smell of cat food - AVOID

It's nice.
you have to buy it in Scotland though, the ones they send out and the ones manufactured elsewhere are not the same somehow.
the ingredients do sound yukky, but it is animal flesh, just a different bit to what you normally have.
try it, it has a flavour all it's own.
