    As far as I am concerned, the more of that wretched haggis, in whatever form it may take,is exported the better. It is dreadful stuff.

    Last time I was in the Better Chedder on the plaza they had a can of vegetarian haggis. The can looked a little dusty though.

    Haggis, Black Pudding and Cooked Sawdust

    even cats won't touch it.... good haggis is is really tasty, as is black pudding (okay, I'll admit they may be an acquired taste for some, just like pre-sweetened ice tea is an acquired taste). A good haggis should be moist, not that dry-as-sawdust hamburger helper stuff that pretends to be haggis and is often served at Burns' Suppers in the USA and Canada to poor, unsuspecting Scots long removed from their ancestral homeland.

    Perhaps that "Ace" Kilt Snob Chef would care to venture an opinion on haggis?

    I have a box of Vegetarian Haggis on my fridge. It's called Oatmeal.

    I've had the Caledonian Kitchen canned beef haggis several times. The taste of liver is very subdued as Jim uses highland coos as his main meat ingredient. I've tried the lamb once and it was similar in its lack of liver. Either are well worth the price for those wanting an Americanized sample.
