So who here has had haggis, and can you describe what it tastes like?

Found this site on a google search. Not much help but really funny.

1. I have had it and I cannot describe what it tastes like

Since I was plugging my nose and had my eyes closed at the time.

4. Bully for you. I am not sure I could even do it that way. :^P

2. I sampled haggis 3 or 4 times last year in Scotland. It's certainly

not as bad as most people make out. It is full of oats and can be mild to very spicy. It's eaten with boiled potatoes and I thought it was kind of like some barley concoctions I've had.

Edit: corrected spelling

3. Is it meat-loafy in texture? (I put oatmeal in my meatloaf)

7. Not really, it's more like a couscous or caserole.

8. Hmm I read somewhere else it's like a black pudding except

never having black pudding that didn't help me at all. :P

5. I've had it, and it is very good.

Just don't get too hung up on the contents (worse things in hot dogs, honestly) and you'll be OK. I like my haggis with a little Tabasco.

6. But what does it smell, taste, feel like? (And don't get me thinking about

hot dogs. I don't wanna imagine what I have ingested all these years!)
