dmann;
You know... you can make haggis out of sheep and lamb parts too...
So never fear! You too can have some without a single cow or pig being harmed!
Blooz;
Try some!
Seriously!
Haggis has a bad rap... it's tasty!
(eating that first bite was tough, given it's bad reputation... but it's good stuff!)

Paul's probably right...it probably is good. I'm guessing that it's still being made after all these years because some people like it...just like "menudo" is a tradition in some parts of New Mexico & Mexico (look it up - it involves tripe). I know of quite a few people who say it's yummy.
That being said, my mother's parents owned and operated a meat processing plant. She has told me enough horror stories about what bad livers (and other organs) look like to ever turn me off to eating any "funky" part, despite how tasty it may be.
And for what it's worth, she never cooked anything "questionable" although she often expressed a longing for her grandmother's oxtail soup. She often laments how the bone marrow is what made the soup so good.
She won't cook/eat any organs & oxtails are the only "odd" bit that I know of she'd be willing to cook with.
I trust her judgment and, therefore, I'm fairly close-minded when it comes to what parts I'm willing to try.

Haggis is good, you big chickens. dmann gets a pass because haggis is totally trayf, but the rest of you are just scaredies.
