Basic Trope: Haggis (a traditional Scottish food) being treated as a Stock "Yuck!" in fiction.
- Straight: Alice and Bob go to Scotland and try haggis, and they find it disgusting.
- Exaggerated:
- Even mentioning haggis causes both Alice and Bob to projectile vomit.
- Alice and Bob are both people who will eat lots of different kinds of food, even things that aren't even actual foods. Despite this, they still think haggis is disgusting and will refuse to eat it.
- Downplayed: Alice and Bob try haggis and have reactions of "I Ate WHAT?!" after finding out it's mostly sheep organs, but other than that they believe it tastes okay.
- Justified: Alice and Bob only know the ingredients of haggis and find them disgusting.
- Inverted: Haggis is considered delicious, and may even be Alice and Bob's Trademark Favorite Food.
- Subverted: Alice and Bob are disgusted by the idea of food that contains sheep organs, but after trying it they find that it's actually pretty good.
- Double Subverted:
- Their friend Charles can't get over its ingredients, however.
- Despite thinking the food tastes pretty good, Alice and Bob still don't like the ingredients.
- Parodied:
- Alice and Bob are eating their favorite foods — maybe the same thing, maybe different things — and Beth tells them they're actually eating haggis. They both get very sick very quickly.
- Even Scottish people hate haggis, which they only make to serve to gullible tourists.
- Zig-Zagged: Whether or not Alice and Bob like haggis is Depending on the Writer.
- Averted: Haggis is never mentioned.
- Enforced: To add a Stock "Yuck!" to the plot.
- Lampshaded: "Ugh, people eat this stuff?" "I'll tell you, I won't!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Someone ends up giving Alice and Bob haggis to torture them.
- Defied:
- Alice and Bob are slightly disturbed by the ingredients of the food, but decide to try it anyway and they end up enjoying it.
- Scottish girl Claire offers to cook Alice and Bob some haggis, and does such a good job at making it actually look tasty that it permanently changes their views on haggis as a whole.
- Discussed: Claire is genuinely shocked that people hate haggis.Claire: So, yer tellin' me that... People hate haggis!? Bloody 'ell, it's just the same as eatin' a minced up COW! It's just the same as eatin' a sausage or a hotdog! An' by the way, did'ja know that hotdogs are made from all sortsa' pig body parts!? Yeh, ya could be eatin' pork arse without even knowin' it! Just treat it like it's a burger or a hotdog!
- Conversed: "Have these characters actually tried haggis, or are they just assuming it's nasty because it's pretty much boiled sheep guts?"
- Implied: Alice and Bob seem slightly grossed out whenever haggis is mentioned, but whether they truly hate it is unknown.
Back to Haggis Is Horrible, where we can all have some sheep guts!
