Rude, in response to your last question - no I'm not involved with any Scottish association. We are always at Auburn on the weekends when the Highland Games are held at Stone Mountain and I have not pursued it further - I should. As for my "extensive Knowledge" of the Haggis, it is not extensive as what I know is from the Internet and, of course, the Scotsman.com Haggis Hunt web site.

I have done a great deal of research in the Internet for genealogical purposes as my mother's family came from Edinburgh into Canada (heathen country according to family documents ) in the 1830's and then into Indiana. My dad rescued mom from "the d*** Yankees and brought her South in 1942. After her death in 1995, I came across a family tree & other documents which got me interested in more of my ancestry, thus our 2 trips to Edinburgh.

I have had haggis once. . .on our 2nd trip to Edinburgh, we went with a tour group and were treated to an "authentic" Scottish dinner, which of course included haggis. My impression was that it tasted like a combination of spam & a dry pate (after extensive sampling of the local liquids). I experienced some of the same reaction as you with everyone looking to see what the other's reaction would be. A fun time, but I prefer a 12 oz rib eye or 8oz fillet :-)

I came across the Haggis site because of the Scotsman.com site and have challenged my first cousins to go "haggis hunting" each year. Just another way to waste time on the Internet.
