Answer 3

Yuk.

Although I have never tasted it but I dont think it sounds appealing.

Answer 4

love it and i eat it with anything I'm not fussy lol

Answer 5

When you read what's in it (sheep's heart, liver, and lungs - along with a few other things - boiled in the animal's stomach) it sounds pretty disgusting, but as I recently moved to Scotland I figured I'd try it (on a pizza!) and it's actually pretty nice!

Answer 6

Haggis can be good at certain times of the year. I personally enjoy it a few times a year as it is made traditionally. I'm not one to vary it too much, but just try different things and see what tastes good with it.

Answer 7

I had it once in Scotland and thought it was very good.

Answer 8

I like it, but only a few times a year  

Answer 9

mmm battered haggis supper

Answer 10

when i was in scottland a few months back i had it with tatties and yam. i didn't like it much though because i think haggis is to salty for my liking.

Answer 11

i hate it!

Answer 12

Ew. No its horrible! lol

My dad loves it though especially a battered haggis supper from the chip shop when we go up to Scotland!!

xx

Answer 13

It's DISGUSTING!

Im Scottish

My mum stuffs chicken b*****s with it then wraps bacon around it.

Dont tell her but its still disgusting!

Answer 14

Both!

Answer 15

It's not a Scottish treat it was originally staple diet.

It is eaten with neeps and tatties, nothing else.

.

Answer 16

I'm Scottish but my English husband likes it.  I'd serve it with mashed tatties, champit neeps, and maybe a wee bit of whisky poured over the haggis as "gravy".

I'm not a vegetarian but I like vegetarian haggis - something that most people who like "real" haggis don't seem to like. But it keeps everyone happy to have the two options.

Answer 17

Treat

I don't understand your bashing but lying at the same time..???

Answer 18

Love it. I just have it on it's own or with mash. Yum

Answer 19

Answer 20

Answer 21

MAN UP AND EAT.

Answer 22

I love it in winter with neeps, tatties and HP sauce.  At christmas I put some haggis into the turkey stuffing - yummy.  It is also lovely eaten cold either in a sandwich or with a salad.

I LOVE HAGGIS !

Answer 23

blah! hate it!

Answer 24

Haggis sandwich! cant beat it!!!   haggis supper from the chip shop comes in 2nd place, neeps gie me the boke so 3rd place would be haggis n tatties mashed together (like stoavies! ) yum.

Answer 25

Robert Burns said it best:

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face

Great Chieftan o' the Puddin-race!

Aboon them a' ye tak your place

Painch, tripe, or thairm

Weel are ye wordy of a grace

As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill

Your hurdies like a distant hill

Your pin wad help to mend a mill

In time o' need

While thro' your pores the dews distil

Like amber bead

His knife see rustic-labour dight

An' cut you up wi' ready slight

Trenching your gushing entrails bright

Like onie ditch

And then, O what a glorious sight

Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn they stretch an' strive

Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive

Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve

Are bent like drums

Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive

Bethankit hums

Is there that owre his French ragout

Or olio that wad staw a sow

Or fricassee wad mak her spew

Wi' perfect sconner

Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view

On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash

As feckless as a wither'd rash

His spindle shank a guid whip-lash

His nieve a nit

Thro' bluidy flood or field to dash

O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed

The trembling earth resounds his tread

Clap in his walie nieve a blade

He'll mak it whissle

An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned

Like taps o' thrissle

Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care

And dish them out their bill o' fare

Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware

That jaups in luggies

But, if you wish her gratefu' pray'r

Gie her a Haggis!

Answer 26

LEAVE IT TO THE SCOTS, they invented it , let um eat it!
