After years hearing about how awful haggis is, I've been very pleasantly surprised when I finally got to taste it earlier this year. It tastes like mutton, which I love, and the oats give it a very pleasant texture. Definitely in my top tier of British food

The taste is entirely dependent on how well haggis season goes.

With the rewilding efforts of the Scottish government there's been a recent uptick in haggis numbers though! The downside with that however is the little buggers have been breaking into industrial oat stores and gobbling up as much as they can, so the price of oats has increased.

Last I heard, the oat industry were discussing moving their storage locations to flatter ground so the haggis struggle to get to it with their mismatched legs.
