Dear MM, Somehow, I am not surprised about GB. My Pryors are also McLeods and and my mother is a Bruce descendant. I was in Edinbugh one night and haggis was served. I did not eat it, but my wife did and she thought it was good. She is a person born north of the Line. Who knows what they eat?

If you like liver you will like haggis. Imagine some liver mixed up with oatmeal and then boiled in a more or less inedible bag. I ate some once by accident...it was stuffed into a chicken breast. My husband, who likes liver, ate mine as well as his own but not before I had inadvertently taken a bite, chewed and swallowed some of the nasty stuff. I don't think Scots really eat haggis much...I think it's more of a kind of old-fashioned dish that tourists equate with Scotland, a tradition that probably many Scots don't care for either. Haggis was a nutritious way to use up leftovers after a sheep was slaughtered. Thank goodness folks usually don't have to depend on it anymore.

I wonder if that reasoning fits Swedish lutefisk, as well... although there are quite a number of Swedes who claim to like the stuff. I've never been where it was, so no personal experience, but have heard that it's rather gelatinous and very strong smelling.
