haggis claims

[Peter C.]

I don't care who invented the haggis--------I just wish that they hadn't!

I expect people in a lot of countries took a sheeps liver, lungs and heart, and mixed them with a lot of suet fat and oatmeal then stuffed it all in a sheeps stomach and boiled it for dinner, but it took the Scots to make it famous, and make it famous they did, thats why it is readily available everywhere today.

We all have our crosses to bear Jock Scot

Here they say "As American as apple pie." There is an English apple pie recipe dated 100 years before Columbus discovered the Americas. Every country where apples are indigenous will have some sort of traditional apple pie recipe. That doesn't make it any less of an American traditional food.

In the UK tea is a traditional drink but we don't grow it, we import it from Asia and the Asians taught us how to make a drink with it. It is still a UK traditional drink.

SO HAGGIS IS YOURS SCOTLAND. I for one am glad that the English recipe didn't become traditional or I may have been brought up on it.
