#1 Scurvy prevention almost as bad as the disease.

#2 Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a sausage casing rather than an actual stomach. wiki

Can't say I've enjoyed this savory delicacy--probably won't.

#3 Little different than boiling turkey gizzard and parts for gravy at Thanksgiving.

Can't find it now, but remember headcheese? Sounds worse. Hunger is a good sauce.

#5 I tried to choke it down once in Edinburgh with a side of blood pudding. What an awful experience

#6 A throwback to an older time when we were desperate for calories in any form. Now, we just get a microwave burrito at the Stop-N-Rob.

#7 There is a difference between Haggis and what's in that Burrito at Stop-n-Rob?

#8 Haggis is pretty good, if it's done right.

Then again, I can't eat menudo.

#9 There is a difference between Haggis and what's in that Burrito at Stop-n-Rob?

One is made of bits of animal which as little as 100 years ago were craved but now are considered disgusting, wrapped in a casing which if you knew what it was you wouldn't touch it, and the other is Haggis.
