I am a vegetarian, so haggis is an experience that I will (thankfully) never experience. A friend, a native Scotswoman, says she does not know anyone who actually ever ate haggis.

(12,939 posts)6. I appreciate the suggestion

(96,651 posts)9. I suppose one could make Scottish hot dish with haggis and haggis flavored chips crumbled on top now
One could...but one shouldn't. Ever.
I am gagging now.
