Just Try It

   While traveling you are presented with once in a lifetime opportunities. You may not and most likely will not ever get a chance to do it again; therefore, you need do it while you can. Typically these opportunities allow for travelers like me to better understand the culture and to gain more respect for their lifestyle. If I am not willing to try something that is unusual, different, or "wrong" in my views then I can't expect others to come to the United States and try what I see as normal, custom, or "right".

  So why this sudden tantrum on voluntarily trying something new and adventurous? Well, this morning at breakfast I tried a traditional Scottish dish, Haggis. Now if you don't know what Haggis is here is the Merriam-Webster definition for you.

Haggis: a traditionally Scottish dish that consists of the heart, liver, and lungs of a sheep or a calf minced with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings and boiled in the stomach of the animal 
  Yes I know what you're thinking. How could she? Eww? *gag sound* "Did she really?" Well, the answer is yes I did and it actually tasted delicious.
