From Happy Monkey's link about Haggis-flavored potato chips:

"We know that flavors with a Scottish twist are popular because Haggis and Cracked Black Pepper is our best-selling flavor," Kirstin Mackie, managing director of Mackie's, said in a written statement.

This is not as incomprehensible as it seems, if you've never had Haggis. Let me clarify: I'VE never had Haggis, the real deal. I've had vegetarian Haggis, with steel-cut oats in place of the organ meat. My point is that the SEASONINGS are what make a dish.
Case in point: a chili dog with a tofu dog and turkey chili tastes for all intents and purposes, like a chili dog. Why? Because of the chili powder, the purple onions, and the yellow mustard. If you can taste anything other than these, you didn't put enough FLAVOR on your chili dog.
Likewise, vegetarian Haggis has a great flavor of the SEASONINGS of Haggis; and I expect the chips are awesome.
I will do my best to eat some and report back here.
I hope I see them at North Texas Irish Festival, or the Scottish Highland Games, or Cowtown Celtic Festival.
