I’m an adventurous eater, but I was also raised on So I Married an Axe Murderer, a comedy starring a Scottish-American who is comfortable jumping behind the counter at a butcher shop just to help out by hacking and grinding and weighing out raw meat, but still thinks haggis is revolting. I’d love to dig into a big ol’… Read more

its kind of funny- it was almost disappointing with how normal it was. You hear about this crazy meal in scotland made out of all these gnarly parts and it can’t even be sold in the US because of how crazy the preparation is (or at least, that was the rumor.) and then you get there, order it, take a hearty bite… Read more

I love that you did Burns Night almost as much as I hate that you ran out of WHISKY on Burns Night.

On the Royal Mile there is a shop that serves an excellent pulled pork sandwich topped with haggis. Read more

I think I’d definitely give it a whirl this way.  Read more

Yeah, haggis is good. I had it with some tatties and neeps at a pub in Edinburgh and it was delicious, but the meal could have used something with different texture for contrast. I really like the taco suggestion brought up in the article, and your breakfast so I’d like to wish into existence a haggis breakfast… Read more

First trip to Scotland, my wife having spent some time there courtesy of the Royal Navy, we stayed at the hotel at Erskine Bridge. As I took the bags up to our room. a piper fired up right outside the window and performed his round, under the glow of an infrequent visitor, the sun. For breakfast the entire range of… Read more

Haggis is delightful. Since I live so far away from Scotland, I can only ever get it on two occasions - Robbie Burns Day and any local Scottish weddings I can wangle an invite to. Read more

My Scottish expat buddy was thrilled to learn i really love haggis (due to my grandfather) and almost immediately dialed back his enthusiasm when he realized i like haggis with ketchup lol. Strangely not every Scott ive met seems to share the disdain for ketchup on haggis but he was mortified.  Read more

I grew up in Taiwan, when offal was a pretty normal part of our diet (sadly, the newer generations are not as into it). So the first time I heard about haggis, the reaction was more “Wait, it contains OATMEAL???? Otherwise it sounds pretty good.” Read more

I had haggis for the first time in a Scottish restaurant in the States. I’m a pretty adventurous eater, but because of all of the negative hype about haggis I approached it with a bit of trepidation. Wow, was it much ado about nothing. It was just a fat sausage. It tasted earthy, a smidge gamey and overall, I didn’t… Read more

Ordered some online recently. I’d read some fairly polarizing stuff online about them and was a bit worried that their aroma would escape the box and alarm my neighbors before I got home to whisk it into my apartment. Not to worry though, no off-putting smells emanating from the box. And when I sauteed the sausage,… Read more

Haggis in a breakfast is really where its best imo.  Read more

For what it’s worth, I had actually enjoyed my first taste of haggis in an Edinburgh pub and hopefully find another good source when I’m back in the UK this year. Read more

I tried haggis at a somewhat upscale restaurant in Edinburgh as a breakfast side with my eggs. I thought it was great, although I’m still a little..... sheepish?.... about trying something lower quality like canned haggis.

The Caledonian Kitchen makes an excellent variety of haggis in the States.

Scot here, born and bred. Traditionally at a typical burns supper, it’s just haggis, neeps (mashed swede) and tatties (mashed potatoes). You could do it fancy like this but there’s something about the simplicity of the three basics that I love.

You also get it in slices here so you can fry it in a cooked breakfast.… Read more

Because it’s what I do:

There’s a Scottish pub in my city that serves haggis. Along with the regular order, you can also get a ‘haggis taster’ for 25 cents. It’s basically one or two bites of their haggis and is great for people that aren’t so sure, and don’t necessarily want to get the full meal. Read more
