This post has kind of been a long-time coming. I've known I'd blog about it ever since I knew I'd be tasting haggis. And I totally wanted to post it earlier, but I've been having issues uploading videos onto blogspot from my computer. Meh...
I hope I haven't built the suspense too much for any of you who care to watch what is about to unfold. It's really nothing special. Except for the part where I eat haggis. (It is a big deal, okay?!)
Bon appetit!

Me & Lisa dishing up the haggis.
Will I, or won't I...?!
Okay, so I totally realize now that I shouldn't have looked up what, exactly, haggis is before I ate it. (Basically it's the Scottish equivalent of a hot dog, but sheep-style. Minus the hoof.) I don't know if you picked up on it, but I totally gagged twice before I even managed to get the fork to my mouth. Then there was at least one more gag whilst the haggis was in my mouth. Can somebody tell me, please, how you can't think of what haggis is when it's rolling 'round in your gullet?
Anyway...I did it. I ate a bite of haggis. And now I'm forever done with it. Seriously, it wasn't bad, but why would I eat it again? I feel quite certain that it's the nastiest thing I've ever put in or near my mouth. And I feel equally as certain that it's the nastiest thing that ever will go in or near my mouth.
Done and...done.
Oh yeah...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VANCE!

I was gagging right along with you, and it wasn't in my mouth! Ugh! I'm impressed though. Good job!
hehehehehehehehehe.
I love that this is labeled "yikes". LOVE it.
Seriously, I have to say that you are brave. I am SO picky with meat. I could be a vegetarian, no problemo, except for steak...mmm. But even cartilage or little tendons in chicken seriously make me want to vomit. I can't believe you even tried that stuff!! How did you not barf on your plate? I have to give you props...I don't have the stomach for that kind of stuff.
Good job Gina! You did it and you made it look really appetizing:). I don't think I would be as brave so way to go!
You are AMAZING! You get major points for that in my book! WOW!! =)
You are so BRAVE, my friend, I could not stomach that!
Brings back memories of Alaska... you are one brave girl, the name alone makes me want to gag!
You're better than I am, I don't think I would have eaten it!! Way to GO!!
ugh! I'm proud of you!
Hmmm, I think they should call it, "gaggis" :) I actually gagged just thinking about what it was and attempting to eat it. I could never. David actually made me throw up by eating something that looked unappealing to me about two weeks ago :) I have a horrible gag reflex and being pregnant isn't the time to do experiments like this .... bluuuk!
I totally love the look of apprehension and fear on your face as your dishing it up and realizing what you have gotten yourself into. Also the nervous tics, of playing with the napkin and making sure that the glass of water will not get away from you. Priceless.
It could've been much worse for you though - the sheep could've eaten a bunch of bananas before it was butchered, and there could've been the sweet aftertaste of banana.
oh for the ginagag.:) well done.
I am not one for trying crazy things, so KUDOS TO YOU! You did it! I am jealous you went to that Scottish night. It looks like it was a blast.
I am glad your little bro made it back safely. Mine gets back on the 20th of March. Did those two years fly by for you like they did for me?
Oh, and I LOVE your header. Perfect!
Good job Gina!! BTW, I saw Brent the other day! I bet it is SOOO nice to have him home!!
