Hi Karen,
My grandmother was born and grew up in Dundee and took me over with her several years ago. While there I had haggis and really liked it, I didn't find it all that spicey either. Back then I had a purebred Scottish Terrier who was registered with the AKC as "Haggis MacPhearson". My grandmother loved him and while in Scotland we went to a tartan shop where Granny bought a piece of the MacPhearson tartan. When I got home, my Mom made a doggie coat with it. When I took Haggis for a walk wearing the coat, he'd proudly strut along as if he knew he was wearing HIS tartan. I'd love to go back there!
