“British cuisine at its’ finest: ODE TO A HAGGIS”
Haggis is definitely Scottish, not British. Most “died-in-the-wool (of their kilts and clan plaids) Scots do not consider themselves “British”
Good haggis to to drool over - salvating for those who know and appreciate this fine dish. It is one of the few dishes out of the British Isles that has any kind of proper, robust seasoning.
“Scots do not consider themselves “British””
Perhaps nationalists don’t, but many do.
Oddly to some, Scottish cuisine is heavily influenced by the cuisine of France.
This is because both Scotland and France have England as a common historical enemy, and there was a lot of cultural diffusion between the two cultures back in the old days. I get a kick outa stuff like that, akin to the Black Irish descending from Spaniards.
PS: I went to a Scottish formal dinner thing in San Francisco last week, and wore my formal kilt outfit. Cougars hit on me in the bar! It must have been the exposed knees that made them all hot and bothered.
Credit where credit is due. Ode to a Haggis by Robert Burns. One of my cousins sent me two small tins (they were red tartan) with haggis inside. I kinda’ like haggis but even I wouldn’t eat it out of a tin. I gave one to my Dentist who gives it pride of place on his desk as a paper weight.
