 just the right amount of liverinessMay 31, 2010
I bought this at a local import store. I was excited and kind of scared to try it. It's very good. I've never liked liver, and this has a livery flavor, but it's just livery enough to taste strong and interesting, but not revoltingly strong. I thought the smell did remind me of dog food, but it's saltier than dog food (yes, I've tasted dog food). It melts in your mouth, it's very soft and tender in texture, and the oats are chewy. It's fairly greasy. I hope to try this someday the traditional way with the skin, as the other reviews I've read for this product claim it tastes nothing like the real thing. It definitely tastes like nothing I've ever eaten before, and I would highly recommend trying it. It doesn't take much to get satisfaction form it. I guess it kind of reminds me of chopped liver (which I never liked as a kid, but I might like it now), only warm, and less strong in the liver flavor. I've had chicken hearts and I can taste the heart flavor, which I might be confusing with liver, as I like chicken hearts. I can imagine it would taste good with cheese.

Thank you, Robert Burns!Feb 08, 2010
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.

Great HaggisFeb 06, 2010
I've been ordering canned haggis for several years so I could enjoy it on Bobbie Burn's Day (January 25th). This was the best ever!

Not the real thing, but not bad, considering it's canned.Sep 16, 2009
I fell in love with haggis on my trips Scotland. When visiting a Scottish shop in NC I purchased this brand along with another brand advertised here on Amazon (Caledonian Kitchen), just to compare. Neither one are quite like the real stuff, but what canned food is as good as the original? Both are tasty although both are a bit mild compared to what I enjoyed in Scotland. I think I prefer the taste of this one. This brand seems to be a tad spicier than the CK and not so heavy on the liver. I add a bit of ground black pepper and nutmeg which helps. I was happy to see it on Amazon, but the price added with shipping costs keeps me from purchasing it. For the little difference in taste, I ordered the less expensive CK in the 3 pack. I'll wait till I go back to NC or another Scottish shop to buy this one.

Haggis: a most under appreciated food!Jun 06, 2009
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.
