Hello Orgians,
I had just seen a huge Haggis at a store recently. I have the money to buy it, but I didn't. The name doesn't exactly sound too appealing.
So, friends, is Haggis worth eating?

And, well, I like it. Definitely worth eating, though - don't eat a whole one on your own, especially if you're making a commenurate amound of mash... I could barely move.
Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
It's very filling (aka stodgy) and if you don't like the idea of unusual bits of animal as tidbits, I'd steer clear.
Not bad on a cold winter night though.

Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
We finished off the last of the haggis last night, though my school's PTPA's Burn's supper is next (followed by ceilidh, for those not disabled by the supper).
It is very nice, provided it is proper haggis. If it is made from proper cuts of meat, it loses a distinct flavour. Vegetarian Haggis is just silly, and foul...

Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
Haggis is very very nice, + it was burns night recently so you can probably get it cheap now...

I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
How is it served? Is it cut into thin slices like those enormous German sausages, or is it cut into chunks? What are the main noticeable flavours? What kind of texture is it? I have a mind to see if Sparks stock any that I might try.
Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
Ahhhh.... Haggis and two of cold scotch! Thats the life...
I salivate at the mere thought even as I type.
@ Pannonian, it is served as a little helping, and looks very much like stuffing. It's taste is a lovely balance between tasty oatmeal and a delicious beefy mouthful. It's texture is like thick porridge, but not sticky like porridge is. When eaten with swede or butternut squash it is truly divine. Wash down with Irn Bru or, as aforementioned, cold Scotch Whiskey.

Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
When I lived on the west coast I used to get it from the chippy. Deep fried with chips and a good portion of curry sauce.
It's not that bad actually, (eaten the proper way) especially with tatties and nips. Oh and a good scotch.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
Aye, haggis is beautiful and Scottish, reminds me of my heritage, sort of tastes like, haggis. Try having it with fried sausages and bacon in a morning for your breakfast. Believe me it is one of the most wonderful Scottish tastes - like no other.

Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
It's tasty and rare that you'll find odd pieces of animal within, considering the restrictions now placed upon slaughtered meats, especially a sausage like the haggis. Some homework should be done regarding preparation, but if your local butcher makes haggis, chances are that he knows to cook it.
Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
Ate it once, was pretty tasty actually, but it deosn't feel quite right in your mouth. Bit squishy and fatty.
Re: So let's talk about Haggis.
Haggis, haggis. When I read about it, it kinda makes me think of sausage: I probably don't want to see it being made :P
But I'll definitely try it out sometime.
