I ate Haggis at the British Officers Mess in Hong Kong in 1987. It was fantastic. Robert Burns celebration. And they looked just like the pic above. They piped it into the mess and it was ceremoniously cut with a officers sword. Everyone was in dress mess. A great memory.

I heard a comedian once say that Scottish food is mostly based on a dare, and he used haggis as an example. At some point in history, someone must have dared a guy to eat it.

I have a feeling it was similar with oysters. I love 'em, but I can't imagine the first guy to try one.

How about lobsters? I heard they used to grind them up to use as fertilizer before someone decided they were an excellent vehicle for butter consumption.
