I served it up at a Burns night feast I held for 9 of my mates a couple of years ago. None of us had tried it before and thought it was going to be horrible.
It was actually really nice, and we all really enjoyed it. Not at all what any of us expected.

Definitely 
… a little taster ahead of Burns Night 
“ His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!” |

Yes! Eaten with a full breakfast with Dieu
Not that I'm incinuating there would be any goings on to necesitate breakfast, but if we're talking my favourite Scottish things....... |

"Love it, but thank goodness its only get three legs, as I couldn't manage the fourth."
They are getting harder to catch though. Smart wee buggers.
Find chasing them anti clockwise is the best way  |

...
Och aye, absolutely, ah've been eatin' it since ah wis a bairn
Not strictly a Scottish dish though, since ancient times almost every country had a very similar dish whatever the animal that was being eaten and no part of the animal was ever wasted so a lot of dishes similar to haggis were common.
The English and Welsh have faggots, not a million miles away from haggis |

Food of the gods.
I organise a Burns Night every year. All the trimmings. Whisky gravy. Address to the haggis. Serve it like a Christmas pudding with a fiery ladle of (blended) whisky set on fire and poured over.
This is the way. |

"I used to think these were actual creatures…."
Small, furry 4 legs with two shorter than the others to help them cling onto the mountain
That's what my Dad told me  |

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest |
Hmmm....having lived in Scotland for over 2 years the answer is difficult.
I tried it on several occasions and enjoyed it only once; apparently it had been done the right way |

"Yes or no? Seeing as burns night is coming up. "
Depends on how it is made and by who but yes. I like it in an egg foo yung.
Vegetarian attempts at it are a crime against humanity.

The whole point of haggis is throwing the parts of offal (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys) together with some oatmeal and spices to disguise the offal flavour (see what I did there ) and stuff it all into a sheeps stomach then boil it it, address it before slicing it open and devouring it wi’ neeps and tatties there is nothing in the vegan or vegetarian world that can replace all that. |

Exactly. The perpetually offended have called food racist before for less. Haggis is a meat product from Scotland. Not plant shite. |
