I've had haggis, chitlins, menudo, etc.

Menudo is the only one of them I've tried more than once.

I'll probably eat chitlins again if we ever go down to the Salley Strut. It got cancelled last year.

What's haggis?
You asked..
haggis, the national dish of Scotland, a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep, minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices. The mixture is packed into a sheep's stomach and boiled.

I tried it and I really liked it. I grew up eating pigs feet, gizzards, geoduck, heart, liver, chicken feet, homemade head cheese, blood and tongue sausage, etc.

My family is very redneck and when we shoot an animal we eat everything but the cock.

Need to get some cock in your guts. Preferably thoroughly cleaned, seared and finished in a slow cooker.

Or you could try the alternative method.

Pozole is superior to menudo

It's menudo without the gross parts.
I've eaten pozole many times before. I've even made it a few times. I like both, but pozole doesn't seem to do as much magic for hangovers. I'm not going to lie, I've had some really funky, almost inedible menudo from a local place. I'm use to the stomach smell, but this batch smelled like they didn't even empty the contents of the stomach before cutting it up and dumping into the pot. We ended up eating something else for dinner that night.

I don't even know what it is but the only time I've heard of it was this...

If you want to try it, see if there are any Scottish games events or festivals in your area. There are usually at least a few vendors selling it at Gallabrae here in Greenville. We have a few local Scottish bars and restaurants, but none of them seem to carry it on a regular basis. It shows up as a special several times a year. I should actually probably try it again as my opinion is based on a sample size of one. The taste didn't bother me, but the texture was weird and it sat heavy.

According to google, what I've had might not be legit haggis due to the fact that it's illegal to serve sheep lung in America. It came from a food trailer at a festival, so who knows? Depending on the carnies, it could have been people meat.

Pozole is Badass
I like the red version with all the toppings, probably top soup for me.
shredded lettuce, radishes sliced, cheese, tortilla chips, onion?, cilantro, sour cream, etc...

You remember the old Robin Williams (RIP) bit where he acts like the drunk Scotsman that invented golf and how crazy it was?

That's what I'm picturing here when I read this.

"Ayyyy...organ meats are gud fer ya! Yuh shuld be a eatin' more of 'em!"

"Yeah, but I don't really like how they taste, so..."

"That's why we're takin' 'em and puttin' 'em with beef an' lamb. Because everybody likes beef an' lamb. Yuh won't even notice!"

"Ok, well, I guess I could try th..."

"And then we'll mix it with oatmeal!"

"Wait...what? Would would you mix it with oa..."

"And we'll spice it right the fuck up! With onion an' cayenee an' more! It'll flip yer kilt right up, it will!"

"Ok, well I guess maybe I could try..."

"Oh, and yuh know how the yanks stuffin' their turkeys fer their Thanksgiving?"

"Uh, yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"'Cause we're gonna do it too, ya silly fook!"

"You're going to stuff a turkey?"

"hahahahaha noooooooo! We'll take the organs and beef and lamb and onion and spices...then we'll stuff 'em in a sheep's stomach!"

"In a wha..."

"Then we'll BOIL IT! Yuh can make it with yer tea!!"
