The haggis at the North Texas Highland games is the Caledonian Kitchen canned stuff. It's not terrible, but it pales in comparison to the 'real' thing.
Think of it like meatloaf (which is similar, different meat of course). I make meatloaf the way my mother taught me and my family raves about it. Take a version of my home made meatloaf, stick it in a can, and send it overseas. I guarantee those who use it as a point of reference will wonder why anyone would brag about something that tastes like that.
I figured their haggis would be better'n ours. But, have you ever had a hamburger made in Scotland? The score is even, my friend. The worst 'burger' was at the Greyfriar Bobby's Pub in Edinburgh. I refuse to describe it for fear of being banned. No offense intended to the Brits as I didn't want the burgers to taste good b/c that it ours to do right.
