haggis claims

[McClef]

Oh yes Haggis is widely available and you can have it for breakfast every morning at Ferintosh!

I think you are right there Todd.

Maybe the English had cook books before the Scots.

I think with the availability of food today, most countries no longer eat their haggis-like meals regularly.

Is haggis used in everyday meals in Scotland? I have only had it offered to me on Burns night.

you can even buy it in tins at local supermarkets

Or better still: Fresh, in Marks & Spencers and several other supermarkets down here in the south of England! The tinned stuff is mostly pretty grim in my opinion.

I regularly have Haggis. Well, at least twice a month. Mmmmmmn!

Take care,
Ham.

Good haggis is brilliant - in fact I had a chance to taste test two different haggi at the Spokane Highland Games yesterday and much to my surprise they were both wonderful! Bad haggis (no, not the band) is absolutely inedible.

Good haggis, yes it is wonderful. The worst haggis I've ever had was in Oban.

Probably any number of peoples had something similar to haggis, just because the English were the first to write it down proves only that a written record of it has survived in the English recension, not that they had haggis before us.

There was a great article in this month's Saveur food magazine about Pavlova. According to them, it is definately a New Zealand dish.

Good man...some of the ole biddies get into handbags at 50 paces over the issue, another of the great trans tasman disagreements.

I posted this to EnglishBloke's wisky distillery visit topic.
There's planety of haggis-like dishes in the world and this is one of them. It's not haggis.

I kid you not. I am watching Fox news w/Sheppard Smith and he says; that someone has found an English recipe that predates anything in Scotland. I just can't believe it.

To be honest - I wouldnt believe Fox News in any instance for fear of them constantly "twisting" issues and evidence. Yes - there is an English recipe for a multi-meat dish. No - it's not the same as haggis.
