I have read the thread so far.

Is the consensus that haggis is disgusting and therefore should be illegal to import?

You are to be commended for being a tough, battle-hardened soldier  :-)

I haven't gotten that impression.  It seems that most find it revolting and therefore would not wish to eat it unless perhaps a large-caliber gun were at their heads, although because most (hopefully all) here are unrepentant, unapologetic Capitalists I don't think that people want it to be illegal but to allow people to buy what they want.

I think also that some are of the impression that the Scots eat it because they enjoy the taste so very much and many readers have a hard time with this, understandably so, when in fact in many cases this is not why it's eaten at all, but as a means of connecting with their heritage.

That at least is the impression conveyed to me, particularly after seeing the very worthwhile video at post #11 here so kindly provided by alice_in_bubbaland
