haggis seems like a pretty extreme way to break your vegetarianism!

while I can't say that I've ever had it, it sounds kinda gross....is it actually good?

it is actually very good. it was completely worth it. *grin*

wish you could try it sometime. you'll have to take my word for it, so you will. :-)

excited to hear about it.
