Hi SHR! I am proud of us because we are both open to eating haggis, roadkill and snake! Of those three, I think haggis may be the grossest...

I agree. Snake is like eating eel and roadkill could be rabbit.

Andouillette doesn't sound so bad, but I could never do chittlins.

Yes, I used the same exact logic re snake and roadkill. In my heart, I feel haggis is just gross for the sake of being gross.
