"A Search for Haggis in Southern California"

The Scottish national dish known as haggis is an unappetizing combination
of oatmeal and offal cooked in a sheep's stomach. Scottish expatriates in
the Los Angeles area have had a tough time trying to locate an authentic
version of haggis. But it turns out that an ex-caterer from Scotland
specializes in producing the pudding every year, just in time for the
annual celebration honoring Scottish poet Robert Burns. Patrick Hirsch
reports.

ObAUE: Now I'm sure it's pronounced "HAG-giss", not "HAG-geez".

I guess the author thinks it tasted offal.
