 Best haggis I've had in the USSep 06, 2007
By S. R. Galloway
"Scott Galloway"
Back home in Scotland I ate haggis at least twice a week and it's been a major craving for the 8 months I've lived in the US. This isn't that similar to tinned haggis in Scotland; mainly the texture of tinned haggis back home is finer and drier than this...but it is fairly close to the 'real' haggis in a skin and is spiced just perfectly. I think preparation counts for a lot with this haggis and I dry fry it in a pan whilst stirring it until it just starts to brown as I think that improves the texture. All in all it's great with a baked potato or just for fellow Scots missing a taste of home. If you haven't tried haggis then this is a great example of how good it is...and it really is like nothing else!

Pleasantly SurprisedSep 13, 2008
By Jared W. Porter
I need to start off by saying this stuff is amazing! When a person is first given the list of ingredients for haggis, the stomach may turn a little. Being an adventurous food taster, I had to try it. Popping the can the contents appear to be similar to dog food. Once you mash it up and heat it in the microwave, the haggis transforms into a bowl of steamy goodness. Who would've thought that a conglomeration of sheep's hearts, lungs, and liver mixed with oats could taste so good? I definitley didn't. I was pleasantly surprised how the flavors meld into such a magnificent dish. Anyone in the states who is turned of by either the ingredients or shipping cost, should reconsider and give this stuff a whirl. (especially if you enjoy beef liver or chicken livers) This product is worth the price. I will be picking up this stuff many more times.

HaggisFeb 18, 2007

The government won't let us get the real thing from Scotland, so this is the next best thing. Doesn't taste like canned Haggis from Scotland but no-one at our Burn's night party knows that.

Thank you, Robert Burns!Feb 08, 2010
By Leanna Loomer

For years and years we had said we would finally try haggis, but never had the courage to face it. (We pictured chitlings.) This Christmas I finally bought this product and we were entirely pleased with it and will buy it again. As an alternative to cleaning and stuffing a sheep's stomach, I have to say it is convenient (think canned hash), and it makes a DELICIOUS shepherd's pie! It doesn't require that scotch be drunk alongside it (or prior), but -- and in the tradition of Robert Burns -- it deserves a toast. We recommend it most heartily.

Haggis: a most under appreciated food!Jun 06, 2009
By Brian
I love meat. All kinds. From sushi to chicken gizzards, I love it. I tried haggis sausage at a RenFair and wanted to try more. Unfortunately, it's difficult to come by in Seattle. (I know about the British Pantry in Redmond, but that's an hour drive for me). I found this stuff and tried a can. I now know I LOVE haggis. For those who aren't familiar with it... it's kind of like corned beef hash, only with oats instead of potatoes and lamb liver/heart instead of corned beef. It's got a strong taste, but I like that. My girlfriend even liked it on crackers. If you don't have the ability to get traditional haggis where you live, Stahley's Scottish Haggis is a worthy substitute.
