Haggis is a delicacy in Scotland, especially at this time of the year, but have you ever seen one in the wild ?

They should've put antlers on the Haggis so they could claim it was related to a Jack-a-Lope.

The Loch Ness monster is a type of aquatic haggis.

You wouldn't say Haggis isn't real, if you were ever cornered by an angry one.

That picture there is obviously made up. They are a deep red colour with wild fiery eyes and human like teeth.

A Scottish friend of my brother brought a haggis to our house one day so we could all try it. I wasn't too keen at first considering how it's made but was pleasantly surprised when he dished it up at how tasty it was. Haggis are made using various recipes, I don't know which one we had but I remember it had a spicy taste.

The clan were based/ originated in Scotland, this is true but the main clan moved to Essex in 1962. I've seen 6 in the past 30 years but they are fast critters-- no chance of bagging one!

Secret London restaurants (kinda like the John Wick Continental situation) can pay up to 25 thousand pounds for a 4 year old mature male=== the ultimate delicacy!

Theopold McTavish Johnson had what many would class as a superpower. He just knew where to aim! He's a multi millionaire because of it... That's all I know. And that IS fact

The best recipe for haggis I ever heard was this: In a dutch oven over a slow burning campfire.  When you can almost feel the aroma, you pour it into the campfire, have a protein bar, and head to your tent.  The haggis will extiguish the fire, and the smell will send any bears in the area running.

Please haggis fans, take a joke.

Nothing new here; "hunting the haggis" is as old as the hills.

I've seen this floating around YouTube for a while and couldn't believe people thought these critters were real.

Kinda dramatic and really not nice to degrade such a fine animal.

I admit, I haven’t tried haggis but I have seen a tv chef prepare one and the ingredients are robust if not tasty. The pluck is boiled with the windpipe exposed and acting as a drainage pipe to remove the impurities then the whole lot is cut up into small pieces and mixed with oatmeal onion and a few spices. Basically it’s a stuffing.
 

It could certainly be improved if it had more spices and a sauce, either a Mexican of Indian chef would really do haggis justice. I’d add chillies, coriander and parsley, garlic, and a spice mix and a sauce
