    I've seen it on one of the Scottish goods sites, but never got up the courage to purchase it.
    Let us know how it is, I might get me some!

    Yeah - it's not authentic, but it's not awful either. A friend that has a vegan wife routinely eats the vegetarian canned haggis and they really like it (me, not so much. )

    It should sell well for you though, everywhere I've ever seen it offered had it move pretty well.

    I buy it every once in while from my local tartan shop just to freak people at work out, it's not bad. Mind you not as good as home made.

    And most of it probably ends up sitting on a coffee table as a conversation piece.

    I've had the lamb haggis from Caledonian Kitchen and it's pretty good. Caveat - I haven't eaten much haggis in my life, but of that which I have, the CK was best.

    Mine did - more of a novelty for me. Even tough I like haggis in general, I was not keen on trying 'canned' haggis.

    Guess it depends on who makes the canned haggis. I have enjoyed Caledonian Kitchen brand and we have used it on Robert Burns night suppers with out any issues. Don't know about any other brands,
