Tonight is the annual celebration of Scottish poet Robert Burns. Eating haggis is part of the traditional celebration dinner. I couldn't wait and had some for breakfast, but will have the rest tonight. Anyone else join me in actually liking haggis?

Scotland has produced amazing people, beer and shortbread cookies. Haggis? You'll have to enjoy that on your own.

Leave the haggis, take the whisky.

Leave the haggis, take the shortbread, no? Cannolis are a sweet treat, just sayin'. Sorry, couldn't resist.

We are actually going to a Scottish Society Burns night in a few weeks, I guess they couldn't get the hall on the right night, I am looking forward to going. Haggis can be tasty, I guess it is like sausages, some butchers make better sausage. I will have a few drams of whiskey anyhow, as well as the haggis & turnips.

I was just in Edinburgh a few months ago... I'll take the haggis and leave the whiskey, thanks.

I vastly preferred the haggis breakfast patties to the 'mush' I had at dinner one night, not for the texture but for the Flavor. I almost bought some at the butcher, but my wife didn't care for it (she's not a fan of black pudding either) and it was more than I could have eaten alone in the short time we had left.

Bungalove, I'll gladly join ya on the liking of haggis!

I am proud to be of Scottish descent. But haggis?
No.Just.No.

Haggis belongs in the category of lutefisk. National foods that no sensitive and discerning person would touch. I still have occasional food nightmares about the one time, at age 15, that I was conned into trying lutefisk. I will never come within smelling distance of the ghastly concoction of haggis. It's the human equivalent of what bottom-feeding scavenger fish eat.
