I've talked about this a lot more on GC than is probably healthy.

Haggis is good eating for me. I would regularly buy it for a weeknight meal, with mashed potatoes and sides. You can even get haggis pakora at takeaways in Glasgow (also quite tasty). I think the perception of it is that the organ parts are "whole" in there- really it's ground up with oats and spices, and looks just like ground beef. The kind you get for daily consumption are little round softball sized things. The ones you get for big fancy Burns Night suppers tend to be a little "Grosser" looking, because they're gigantic and blobby.

I used to be a huge hypocrite, and refused to eat black sausage. Until my guesthouse host served it to me one day and was super pleased with it (because it came from his daughter's farm). It was delicious.

I've had beef tongue at a fancy restaurant and it was tasty. Like roast beef, sliced really thin.

I think my thing is "eyes". Like Balut, or whole fishheads. The eyes staring at me is just creepy.
