Hell no! Haggis requires intestinal fortitude. Boudin requires testicular fortitude...

I was raised on "blood puddin".My dad turned me on to it.Me Irish grannie used to make it back durin the depression - when they was livin on the farm.She'd make it from the blood when they was butcherin the hogs.
Course ya cant get it they way she used to make it...but theres some mighty fine stuff available-which gets me evrytim I see it.(darn expensive tho)I eat it cold-right from the coil

It's a little known fact that wild haggises come in left or right handed sub-species, its nothing to do with hands actually, but legs. Left hand haggi have longer legs on the right so they can scamper through the gorse of the highland glens with out tipping over, but only to the left. Righty haggi have the opposite arrangement.

I'm afraid you're right and that this is not an anatomically correct representation of a live haggis. Haggis (pl. haggii) live in the Scottish mountains and always run round the hill in a clockwise direction. This made easier because the legs on their right side are shorter. Experience haggis hunters always approach them in an anti-clockwise direction. It cannot run anti clockwise and is easily caught most of the time. If the haggis tries to leave at any speed it will fall over and roll to the bottom of the hill where it can be collected by the hunters assistant. The haggis in this picture is able to maintain a stable stance on the flat and therefore cannot be genuine.

Y'all are cracking Me up , Hoadie I've been Snipe hunting ....Damn fun if I say so My self !!!  Still trying to get Doobie and Fluffy to go !!!  I do have the trails for it in the pasture ...just wish it was way back away from the house than it is !!!  LOL!!!

Haggis are vicious little sods when cornered, I still have the scars on my leg where 1 bit right through a pair of snow gaiters when I was up in the Cairngorms climbing.
