all depends on where you get it from and its quality. the best i have come accross is from cockburns butchers in the scottish highlands, (elgin).

the stuff you buy in supermarkets and from chip shops is disgusting.

Also depends on whether it's caught during the season or not.

You have no taste!

MacSweens isn't too bad, the best I have ever had is from a local butchers, its even won prizes. Even better than Cockburns.

Ive never tasted a jockstrap, but the one time i had haggis i thought it was quite nice, so i guess i would enjoy jockstrap also.

I've also never tasted jockstrap, but quite enjoy haggis, so must give this jockstrap a try one day.

I'm having haggis for tea tonight. Yummy.

Don't know what jockstraps taste like though so can't make a fair comparison.

Isn't Haggis just made from oatmeal, blood and fat with a few spices? Oh, and some chopped heart and lung thrown in? Bleeuurgghh!!

Ah see you have just edited! No blood in a haggis, here's a recipe for it. Lovely stuff.

I just love haggis!

Haggis stuffed in a chicken fillet with a rasher of bacon wrapped round it (Balmoral Chicken) - delightful!

I have tasted (filled) jockstrap but not haggis and rather wouldn't.

Unfortunately, I'm being served it next month as the main course at an awards dinner.

I don't touch offal but I'm not a vegetarian.

Should I just avoid it or is there a chance it won't have offal in it (it's the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh)?

If I ask for the vegetarian it's likely that it'll have my other 'food hell' - cheese - in it.

Advice please.

I've never come across vegetarian haggis with cheese in it, so I think you should be quite safe in ordering it.

No, I don't think a vegetarian haggis is likely to be the vegetarian option (at least it's not specifically stated).

Not that keen on either though, but I'd rather fancy some proper meat on the night.

You get what you pay for, some are better than others and some brands are just over-rated - like Calvin Klein for example.
