American with Scottish ancestors here. I'm happy that traditions will be upheld this way but I'll pass. There's other Scottish foods I've seen in travel videos that look amazing though. One day I'll visit.
If you eat meat, there's no real reason not to eat haggis. It's no more gross than eating steak or chicken when you get down to the nittygritty of it. It's all animal bits at the end of the day. If you've ever eaten hot dogs, then you've probably eaten far worse "quality" than is in haggis. You'll be surprised how delicious it is! Worst case, you don't like it and don't have it again, but I've yet to meet anyone who didn't enjoy haggis after opening their mind to trying it.
And if you don't eat meat, vegetarian haggis is pretty good too. Not quite The Real McCoy, but not far off.
I eat plants but it'll be a cold day in hell before I eat the weird mushy brown part at the end of a ripe banana
