Burns Night - have you eaten haggis?

It was Burns Night last night, which got me thinking: have you ever tried haggis?

I've never tried it myself, and I probably wouldn't, but I've heard the vegetarian versions are nice!

For those who aren't aware, this is what haggis is (Britannica):
haggis, the national dish of Scotland, a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep (or other animal), minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onioncayenne pepper, and other spices. The mixture is packed into a sheep’s stomach and boiled.
Have you ever tried haggis? If so, did you like it? If not, would you ever try it?

    I've had haggis on several occasions and really like it I even buy it at times to cook its quite peppery at times and would say closest resemblance is to black pudding

    Hi, I tried haggis for the first time just last week. I wasn’t sure what to expect but just not my thing (as too peppery).

    I agree it doesn't taste like black pudding but has similar texture and wrapped in a skin

    Yes I have had it a few times, tasted different each time, so not sure if it was the real McCoy, also tried vegetarian but that was awful very dry no taste
