Haggis is English

I can confirm haggis originated in England, in the flood plans of Oxfordshire actually.

The haggis (wee timouous haggii) was originally a lowland marsh living creature.
Over millennium living on the flood marshes and nesting in river banks, its peculiar mating habit of mounting for copulation purposes on the river bank lined up parallel with the bank, evolved haggis with one side legs longer than the other. Over time with legs on one side growing ever longer than the other, life on the flat flood marshes became more difficult and the haggis migrated upstream into what we now know as the Cotswolds (hills).
By this time Homo Neanderthal (sub spec oxferd yokelii) had become established in the area and the haggis became the preferred food source. The yokelii even with their limited intelligence soon found that haggis could only run along the hills in one direction because of the one sided leg orientation, and if driven towards a waiting ambush group they could be panicked into turning and running in the other direction, only to tumble side over side down the hill and to the waiting yokelii.

Eventualy the haggis were exterminated in the Cotswolds, the yokelii took up eating and mating with sheep, the offspring of which eventually became the species Homo Sapiens. However some haggis managed to migrate north through the Wolds, the Pennines and into Scotland and to become established on the slopes of the glens and craigs of heather.

And that dear readers if proof positive of haggis originating in England

In that case I claim morris dancing for Scotland.



On second thoughts you can keep it!
I claim the English football team for Scotland ...

Hookey might have something to say about that, he's not that type of lad!

Horrace's Poem.

Much to his Mum and Dad's dismay
Horace ate himself one day.
He didn't stop to say his grace,
He just sat down and ate his face.
"We can't have this his Dad declared,
"If that lad's ate, he should be shared."
But even as he spoke they saw
Horace eating more and more:
First his legs and then his thighs,
His arms, his nose, his hair, his eyes...
"Stop him someone!" Mother cried
"Those eyeballs would be better fried!"
But all too late, for they were gone,
And he had started on his dong...
"Oh! foolish child!" the father mourns
"You could have deep-fried that with prawns,
Some parsley and some tartar sauce..."
But H. was on his second course:
His liver and his lights and lung,
His ears, his neck, his chin, his tongue;
"To think I raised him from the cot
And now he's going to scoff the lot!"
His Mother cried: "What shall we do?
What's left won't even make a stew..."
And as she wept, her son was seen
To eat his head, his heart, his spleen.
And there he lay: a boy no more,
Just a stomach, on the floor...
None the less, since it was his
They ate it – that's what haggis is.

That is why I only eat veggie haggis.

So do I ...I make sure it's only made from animals that are vegetarians.

Then for you I recommend fauxfu.
Perhaps you know that's Tofu made from lettuce & cucumbers for the bean curd intolerant Biggy?
