I went to a Haggis Ceremony this last summer. Very formal. All the proper tartins were worn, the Haggis brought in on a silver platter.
Every one was given the smoothest scotch I ever had (about 2oz) you where supposed to slam it down then eat the Haggis.
When I tasted the Haggis I knew why they gave you the scotch first.

Goat lungs will work if you can't get sheep lungs. And I use rice instead of oatmeal (bad memories from my first enlistment).
Haggis is a wonderful thing. The tex-mex fusion I make is pretty darn good, too.

There is nothing more distasteful than haggis.
What civilization ever concocted this abomination?

I swear haggis was invent by two scots on a dare to see which one could come up with the most bizarre thing to eat.
Black pudding as I understand it came in second....

My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

The very best part of Haggis is the "sauce" and "the company" when eating it. Being 75% Scotch and 25% Dutch Gin, I am a Haggis boy form the hills.
Picture a Scots lad at his Pub for a late night, Darks and Haggis, for sure.
He climbs the trail to his sheep herders cabin for the night but does not make it and naps on the side of the trail.
In the morning, two young Lasies walk by and see the herder sleeping at the side of the trail. They decide to check hout his "Manhood" under his kilt and do, with one of them taking a blue ribbon from her hair and tieing it on his member.
He wakes, stands to relieve himself and sees the ribbon.
His words are, with a Scottish burr I can't type say:
Laddie, I don't know where were you've been or what you did, but I am Proud You Took First Place.
Have a good evening.

I prefer the poetry of Montgomery Burns.

He doesn't even need a metaphor. Brilliant.

I cook deer hearts and livers for my old dog. She loves them. I can’t imagine that I would get that hungry.
