    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.

    Around here you can get deep-fried (in batter) haggis suppers too. "Supper" when used by a fast food shop in the West of Scotland means "with chips (i.e. fries)". Beware asking for a pizza supper! You get a deep fried (freshly unwrapped from frozen) pizza and chips. Mmmmm crispy. And you can follow that with a deepfried mars bar for dessert. Goodbye arteries, it was nice knowing you.

    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.
