I ate a lot of it. On our very first family trip back to my homeland, we took a trip to Edinburgh, without the little food grinder we used to prepare a sub-sample of our food for our six month old. We needed to find something for her to eat, that did not require teeth --- Haggis fit the bill.

My really fussy 4 year old also eats it and has been eating it since he was about 1yr old. Anyway I just wanted to say I don't know of anyone who makes Haggis from scratch.
