The wee 'Haggis' is English!!

Oh dear, it's just been established that the haggis came from dear old England! Apparently, a menu dated during 1615 has been found, a full hundred years before the Scots were involved in what can be a somewhat dodgy meal, that is if you even dare to eat it!!  No more "Och ie Jimmy", just a good old English "Oh, hello James"!! Thinks.....that should start a few tongue's wagging.

Ha, ha....got me thinking now! Can you imagine Royalist soldiers being told to "go to work on a haggis". Maybe the haggis would have been sold at the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford - frequented by Royalist soldiers during 1642-1646. Swill it down with a pint of beer (yes the pub has been officially selling beer since 1650) so who know's?

Think we will let the Scottish keep the delicacy Ron!

I had one eye on the news this morning Stephanie, saw them kill one!!! LOL

you trying to start a war with the Scots Ron, its ok for you down south but its us northerners that have to keep em back lol. 9only joking, love the scots really!

I had never heard of it so looked it up. I wouldn't fancy it myself!! 

lol Cathy, dont ever tell a Scotsman you've never heard of the Haggis. poet Robbie burns will turn in his grave lol. (For those that dont know it, a haggis is a pheasant-like bird with one leg slightly shorter than the other, developed from the environment where it lives, this deformity allows it to run around the mountain-side whilst maintaining an even balance). lol 

Really, Michael? I thought Haggis was some disgusting concoction made up and cooked of various animal parts?

Michael, you are shameless!  LOL!  The only "concoction" here, Diana, is Michael's story about that bird!  I do agree with your description of the real haggis though.  YUK!  (Hey, guys, love the Tartans and pipes though!)

Gotta love plaid......!!
