To continue the tale of the Haggis.... "The offal truth! Scots' hallowed national symbol the haggis might have been invented by the ENGLISH, writer claims
Haggis is a national symbol in Scotland, lauded by the poet Robert Burns But a new claim puts the offal dish's origins south of the border, with the first recipe reportedly being found in Lancashire in 1430 Emma Irving, a Scottish writer at The Economist's 1843 magazine said haggis began to be more associated with Scots after the Highland Clearances
For proud Scots, haggis is a hallowed national symbol which on Monday was the centrepiece at suppers along with neeps and tatties to mark poet Robert Burns's birthday.
But now – whisper it quietly – it has been claimed Scotland's national dish was invented by 'the auld enemy', the English.
The claim about the meat pudding – a blend of sheep lungs, oats and spices – was made by Scottish writer Emma Irving in The Economist's magazine, 1843.
The haggis was famously described by Burns as 'Great chieftain o' the pudding-race' in 1787.
But it is said to have been first mentioned in English literature in the 13th century, described as 'hagwys' in a recipe.
It is claimed the first recipe for haggis was actually found in Lancashire in 1430. No mention of it appears in any Scottish text until 1513."I know you want more.... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9186371/The-offal-truth-Scots-hallowed-national-symbol-haggis-invented-ENGLISH.html

Must be why I don't use Instagram. Or do I? Or does it use me?
Have not had the "pleasure" of ever looking at it.

Mrs. Ravioli comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner. He lives with a female roommate, Maria. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate is. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Maria and I are just roommates.'' About a week later, Maria came to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote an email: Dear MaMa, I'm not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house ; I'm not saying that you "did not" take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Your Loving Son Anthony Several days later, Anthony received a response email from his MaMa which read: Dear son, I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Maria, and I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now. Your Loving MaMa Moral: Never Bulla Sh!tta your MaMa
