The Top 5 Ingredients that Make Haggis a Hated Food
Heart
The heart of the animal is in the dish. Some people love heart meat. They explain it as liver textured on the outside and pate textured on the inside. Yet, there are some products that contain beef heart, and that is good enough to allow people to know that they do not like the taste of it.
Liver
Liver is another organ that some people love and some people hate. It has a strong smell and a strong taste. While the high iron content in liver can be good for the body, the high vitamin A content and the high cholesterol content can be dangerous.
Lungs
Lungs are described as spongy, but with a light flavor. People who like to eat the internal organs of animals say that lungs do not taste that bad. They say that this is especially true compared to the taste of liver.
Small Intestine
People don't like to say what a small intestine tastes like. This may be a good thing, but it seems like it is a bad thing. It is certainly gross thinking what happens in a small intestine, being that nutrients needed are absorbed by it and then waste goes through it to the large intestine.
Stomach
Stomach is also known as tripe. It can be found in the soup, menudo. Some people love the way it tastes. However, it is often described like a rubbery, unwashed gym sock. All of the previous organs are cooked in the stomach.
Of course, some people love haggis. However, it doesn't seem like any of this, especially combined in the stomach of an animal. The only saving grace haggis might have is that it has seasonings. However, these are salt and pepper, onion and garlic, and suet and oatmeal. Those don't sound great, but they do sound better than the organs.
While some people describe haggis as great or only are surprised at the spiciness, most people say it is vile and the grossest thing ever eaten. It has even been described as having a texture like a football.

Scotts have Haggis, Scandinavians have lutfisk. It's all in what you're raised with, I guess. My dad was German and prepared a meal made from parts of a hog's head. Tasted good at the time....
Is it strange that I have never heard of Haggis?
