Why eat Haggis?

Haggis, the word alone almost makes me gag.  So some of my ancestors are of Scottish descent, so thinks me, I should try some Haggis.  Well it came to me as one of those foods where you would of liked to think it was grandma's chili, instead of intestines, just to get it down.

So I'll be honest, it wasn't bad, it just the mental thought of knowing (or not knowing) what the bloody heck I'm eating.  My question is, are we that crazy to eat this stuff and enjoy it?  I will just assume that my ancestors were really poor and hungry and had nothing to eat, so the feasted on what they could find to survive.

But why are we still eating it today?  Well I guess I've done my ancestors proud, at least as much as I can get for a spoonful.
