Haggis isn't revolting like I imagine lutefisk to be. It's just kind of gross. The texture is shitty; the taste is shitty; the thought that you're eating a stomach is shitty. Eating a weird part of the animal is fine if it tastes good (e.g. tripe or balls), but when it doesn't it makes the experience much worse. The first time I had it I was three sheets to the wind and threw up shortly after. It was probably unrelated to the haggis, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

Lutefisk is like if someone took the galvanized steel garbage can that the fishmonger uses without a liner and then filled it full of water and boiled grapefruit in it.

The grapefruit is the lutefisk.

It has an incongruous texture and an aggressively rotten taste.

With gravy.

I also thought about something sweet, like the bottom part of Knafe
