I love my Scottish heritage and I visited Scotland back in 2001. However, I did not eat Haggis there and I would not eat one here. In fact, upon returning to the states and about to clear customs, a customs officer asked us I we were bring any back!
I told him the same thing. Give me a Talisker instead.

I don't think that just because you don't want to eat a haggis that this somehow makes you "less of a Scot" than those who do.  It's a means of connecting with your heritage, but there are many other ways of doing so that don't involve eating haggis.

A quiet evening by the fire with a Burns collection, a nice glass of Talisker and a bonnie lass sounds like a perfectly wonderful way of asserting your Highland genes   :-)
