With a long tradition, the Celtic Classic Haggis Bowl is a favorite among festival-goers. Competitors travel from as far away as Alaska for the honor of holding the title of “Celtic Classic Haggis Champion.” Are you brave enough? The rules are simple. The person that eats one (1) pound of haggis the fastest wins. No condiments, seasonings or sauces allowed. Haggis must be eaten as presented. Beverages are permitted.
