Actually I quite like it myself having a Scottish father...can only get it around here on Robbie Burns Day though(fresh that is).

Well, you need it fresh

Yeah, tried the tinned stuff from the Scottish import store and binned it after a mouthfull...ugh. Dunno why they bother, just gives Haggis a bad name it does.
Must be made by the English hee hee hee

I don't know when we Yanks got away from all that kind of stuff. Must have been after the Great Depression. My gramps was a butcher, so I have tried most all of it at least once. At reunions I recall some of those dishes we had, back when everyone brought a "special" treat. Spent some time in Europe, so got more tasting there as well. Remember ordering a burger forty years ago......told to go to "Wimpy's".....No McD's back then, LOL. Learned to like bratwurst on hard rolls, haha.

I actually meant fresh as opposed to not fresh, not to canned. Not fresh meaning having been forgotten for a week or so in a good temperature

I hear ya. I had 40 years of daily toothaches till some friends here first found me a dental surgeon who did the operation pro bono all 21 teeth I had left. and then on Feb 10 2010 they did a fundraiser at an 85 seat club(times change(d) high and lonesome club) and raised $2010.00 in one evening of folk playing music for free. The start of better times for sure. I may well have been dead by now from the acesses I was having monthly.
