I don't think I could bring myself to eat the tinned haggis, but than again I am one of the luvky ones and have several sources close by that make haggis from scratch. Like Adam, I don't often search it out, but I have had it several times and numerous events. If I find haggis on a menu I will usually order it. Having haggis at the games food vendor is not the best way to enjoy it. I first tried it in Portree (on Skye) and it was served with bashed neps on one side and tatties on the other. It was awesome.

Have it as a meal, not as a gimmick. It's also better if you catch the wee beastie yourself ;-)
