One in five people in Britain thinks that haggis, the traditional Scottish dish made from the lung, liver and heart of a sheep, is an animal that roams the Highlands, according to a survey on Friday.
Commissioned by the online takeaway food service Just-Eat.co.uk, the survey found that 18 percent of Britons believe that haggis is a hilltop-dwelling animal. Another 15 percent said it is a Scottish musical instrument while 4 percent admitted to thinking it was a character from Harry Potter.

Yes, I’ve been hunting for hamburgers quite a lot recently. It’s best if you capture the hamburger in rutting season, meat’s much more tender. Many of my friends have attempted to hunt down the elusive bacon creature, but only a few have succeeded. I’ll just be glad when they figure out a way to package the mcnuggett without having to buy the McDonald’s brand. I think they have a monopoly on the mcnuggett farms.

Bagpipes are what you get when you step on the tail of a haggis.

Well for god's sake shoot the thing already. The only thing more dangerous than a pack of ravening haggis is a wounded bagpipe. Nothing is more dangerous than a wounded bagpipe.
