I've had chitlins but I won't have haggis, so I guess haggis is more macho but I've also had cows tongue and calves brains and didn't care for them much either.  |

Ok, I looked them both up. They both sound fairly disgusting. But since haggis has sheep's lung which supposedly could be contaminated with Scrapie which supposedly according to the USDA can pass to humans from eating it, I'll vote that.
fly', you're way more adventuresome with your eating than am I. Weirdest I've had was chicken gizzards, and alligator. And frog's legs, based on my family's reaction to those.

Well Angus Young was born Scottish and he would have eaten Haggis, and we all know he was one of the most bad .... guitar players of all time, may he rest in peace.  |

If you don't like mushy meals, try these Haggis flavored chips.  |

"he was one of the most bad .... guitar players of all time, may he rest in peace."
Agreed. Just when I thought disco had completely taken over, AC-DC arrived on the scene to save the world.
Rest well, Angus.

It seems that you can get both foods in flavored potato chips.  |

well , it was officially reported yesterday that Angus also died, I'm the one who never falls for these hoaxes. I know Malcom died, he had dementia, I figured the stress of losing his brother took out Angus , living the life of wild debauchery they lived, is not kind to a body

Eating Haggis properly is a formal occasion. I don't think chitterlings ever receive a parade, or have poetry read over them. Parade of the HaggisThe evening's highest bit of pomp. The chef, carrying in the haggis, follows the piper - playing Brose & Butter,or some other appropriate tune - in a more or less dignified procession through the hall (or house, or one bedroom flat). The chef lays the haggis, on it's groaning trencher, before the chairman at the high table. Address to a HaggisA previously designated reciter reads this poem over the haggis. A guid whisky gill is offered to the piper, chef and reciter, and with alacrity, the haggis is sliced open with the finely honed edge of a ceremonial dirk (though any old knife will do). The meal is then served with all its composite courses and copious helpings of guid ale and whisky. (I've seen some flavor their haggis with a dram of whisky, but I prefer both my pudden and whisky neat). More at the link. www.robertburns.org/suppers/itinerary.shtml |

Whew, what a choice!  Both are pretty nasty (assuming "nasty" here equates to "macho")... LOL! "Chitlins" are a staple of deep south Red Neck boys, whom I strongly identify with, and THAT is pretty macho... And Haggis surely was ingested by ferocious Scott warriors of old, and THAT is mighty macho too...
However, it's the "stuff" we're judging here, not the brave souls who choke it down... LOL! So, since to me, at least, Haggis conjures up images of decomposing road-kill seasoned with Diesel fuel-spill, served up in a rusty valve-cover... I'll go with Haggis... No offense meant to those who like the stuff. I like pizza smothered in cheese that smells like dirty sneakers... LOL! 
Now for pure macho FOOD... Ya' gotta consider Japanese Fugu Fish. One mistake in prep and the danged thing will KILL you. A food that can KILL you AFTER it's dead and on the table has GOT to be considered macho... EEEWWW!
