I always joke with my American friends (where one can't serve proper haggis or Pölsa due to regulations about selling lungs) that it tastes like freedom.

#8While an interesting history, the actual truth is that the haggis is a small mammal which lives in the highlands. While they can be hunted (from St Andrews Day to Burns night), most commercially available haggis is farmed.
There is no truth to the rumour that they have 2 legs longer on the left side to easily run around the steep hills. Or that the males and females have different long legs so that they run around the hills in different directions and therefore meet.

#10Im Scottish and stopped eating haggis for a while due to the "it contains ..." - but then started liking and appreciating it again. Its a great food for mixing meat, oats and herbs, and the veggie versions are really good too
Most people who complain have no objection to the floor sweepings of fast food they are eating
