They are stupid after all. I refuse to eat haggis, because I think sheep are absolutly precious. My ancestors were from Scotland, but I feel no ties to eating poor defenceless sheep. I also would not eat gummi haggis, because it's butterscotch flavored, but I might get it for my mom. I wonder if our govenment, the states, will ban gummi haggis? They are stupid after all.

It's sort of a cross between a mildly seasoned sausage and meatloaf. Aside from the stomach, the organ meat is all ground, so it's not like you encounter chunks of lung (in fact, most butchers don't use lung anymore, which is for most people the most objectionable bit.) And the stomach itself is just a membrane that holds it all together, essentially the same as the intestine that is used for making sausage. I encourage anyone who can get their hand on it to try haggis. I guarantee if you can get passed all the trumped up descriptions, you'll find it's really not that bad. Hell, most food can sound gross if you describe it in detail. Gummi's are composed primarily of bovine connective tissue. Milk is technically a reproductive fluid. And cheese is just rancid reproductive fluid. And next time you reach for an energy drink, remember that taurine is a derivative of cow bile. Ahem. Sorry about that. I just don't understand why haggis gets such a bad reputation. And no, I'm not Scottish. However, aside from all that, the gummi haggis sounds interesting. Butterscotch gummi? How odd. The tapeworm seems less exciting. I think just cause I've been eating gummi worms all my life and this just seems like a big version of those. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go pour myself a big glass of ice cold bovine reproductive fluid and open a bag of deep fried tubers.

Perhaps I can get Wink's Woods to carry them. I have to add both of those to my must have candy list. Perhaps I can get Wink’s Woods to carry them.
