Haggis is English, historian says

[Artimus]

I think originally, Black Pudding is from Bury.

Does it matter? What's important is that it's delicious. Haggis on the other hand... let's just say I'm yet to muster the guts to try it.

It does for some. Identity is important. Some go so far as making sure others can't just copy e.g. champagne.

This whole England thought of it first is fucking horse shit so it is. It's like a Scottish butcher who was interviewed said about the whole situation: I find it hard to believe. However there may be a recipe in England similar to it. and so some wee English historian clown tries to lay claim to something famous from Scotland. And to give comments like, let them have it, that is just a typical by the book response to the situation because we all know it's not true. There's no grounds what so ever in it. So an English recipe has one or two similar ingredients to that of a Scottish dish. Big deal. If it was a rip off on our behalf, I'm damn sure some bigot would have brought it up long before now sinse Haggis is a famous Scottish dish. And as history has told us, historians have been known to get it wrong from time to time.

I have long understood it (for many decades) to have originated in Northumberland so it's not by any means a new idea.But the fact is that people have always moved around from place to place and taken their ideas with them.It's never going to be possible to tie down the actual place of origin.

Haggis - Invented in England

Bagpipes - Invented in Asia

Kilts - Danish word, actually invented in Ireland

Clan tartans - Originated in England

Even the name "Scotland" came from the Scoti, who were Irish.


So, do they actually have any of their own traditions?...

Deep fried Mars bars
Deep fried pizza
Deep fried anything else you can think of....

Um, those would be traditional of the American Southern states. You try going to a trailer park in West Virginia and tell them that the deep fried Twinky was invented somewhere else and see what happens. Might as well tell them that Wal Mart is evil, while you're at it. :fight:

The telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci, an Italian-American, and his patent was stolen and copied.

The steam engine was invented in ancient Egypt by a Greek.

Penicillin was known to the Bedouins of north Africa for thousands of years and the French got there well before Sir Alexander Fleming discovered it by accident.

The Chinese were in fact the first to discover whisky, but it was first invented in Europe by the Italians in the 12th Century.



But yeah, I'll give you credit for a lot of the other stuff.

Well the history books have it as Scottish......

The steam engine was invented in ancient Egypt by a Greek.

Where is this steam engine cause I dont remember any evidence of steam engines in Ancient Egypt , maybe ideas or drawings but no evidence they invented the steam engine as we know it today

Penicillin was known to the Bedouins of north Africa for thousands of years and the French got there well before Sir Alexander Fleming discovered it by accident.

He was the first to discover the medical benefits & give it to the world , if it wasnt for him there would be millions maybe billions of people who wouldnt be alive today

The Chinese were in fact the first to discover whisky, but it was first invented in Europe by the Italians in the 12th Century.

There are loads of different whiskies , but only true kind is from Scotland & the way whiskey is made , distilled , casked nowadays is Scotch Whisky the real whisky, nowhere else in the world are they allowed to call it Scotch because its the original whisky , so the whisky we drink today is nothing like early attempts , the whisky of today is a Scottish invention the rest are imitations



But yeah, I'll give you credit for a lot of the other stuff.
