My friend actually won an award with that recipe, at a 50s-themed party in 1999 ... "Recipe Least Unlikely to Survive Into the 21st Century"! It was even more gross when she made it, because she couldn't get the jello to jell, and ended up serving it as a dip.
She asked me for the recipe because she remembered my making it once ... it's amazing we're still friends, in retrospect. She hated it as much as the rest of my family, although I myself have always liked it. Go figure.

I don't know, but I'd say it's a bit more gamey, with a stronger taste. But I've never done a blind test.
I tried it. It was definitively bizarre for my tastes.
I'm struggling to think of something more bizarre than haggis that I've eaten. Yet, although I am the pickiest of eaters, I don't find haggis that strange, but that's just me.
I have eaten my hat on a number of occasions, though...

I like haggis. Is that weird?
We'd have to see the sort of hat to determine how weird that one is. I think a fez would rate higher than a baseball cap, for instance.
Is haggis really all that different from any other sausage?
I tried only once, but I'd say yes.
Wiki describes it as "a kind of savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs — see offal); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours."
It is to sausages what Godzilla is to iguanas.

I was wondering what a pluck was...
I'm pretty open to trying new foods, but I get grossed out by sausage if I think about it too much...I don't know if I could stomach haggis.
It is when you are eating dehydrated homemade haggis on a backpacking trip in Utah.
That would make a good expression of anger or frustration.
I tried some jelly fish while in Hong Kong. It had no taste at all.
I most bizarre food that I had as a child was lamb brain. People here use to eat that a lot before animals started going mad around the world.
Also, frog legs is considered a delicacy in my hometown, but I haven't tried any yet.
