	Haggis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Haggis is traditionally served with the Burns supper on January 25th, when Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, is commemorated.
		Haggis is widely available in supermarkets in Scotland (and in some parts of England) all the year round, and the cheaper brands are normally packed in artificial casings, rather than stomachs, just as the cheaper brands of sausages are no longer stuffed into animal intestines.
		Haggis is also used in a sport called haggis hurling, throwing a haggis as far as possible.

	The Scottish Haggis
		Haggis normally give birth to two or more young Haggis, or "wee yins", as they are called in Scotland, and from birth, their eyes are open, and they are immediately able to run around in circles, just like their parent.
		Most Haggis hunters will leave the wee yins, due simply to their size, but when attacked by other predators, they are still able to emit the bagpipe like sound, which again has the effect of very quickly clearing the surrounding area of all predators, and attracting other Haggis to the scene.
		Haggis however are sticklers for protocol, and the male wee yins suckle on the left side, while the females are restricted to the right side.

	Save the haggis campaign - about the haggis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is widely believed that the haggis has three legs; a short leg and two long legs; allowing it to run extremely rapidly round hillsides (either clockwise or anticlockwise direction depending on which sex it is) when disturbed from its normal routine of dozing among the heather on the hillside during the day.
		The haggis is believed to be a vegetarian and poses no threat to other wild life or humans - though it regularly falls prey to the Scottish taste for this creature which is traditionally eaten in the winter months.
		This taste for the haggis, along with the increasing number of tourists tramping it's native hills, is posing a severe threat to this little creature.

		It is in the nature of the haggis that it should be a creature shrouded in mystery.
		The most common mistaken belief about the haggis is that it is some kind of pudding made from sheep innards.
		Quite why this would confuse a predator is unclear as the haggis would be unable to run away, being as it is stuck in a bog.

	Haggis Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Haggis is as Scottish as the kilt and the bagpipes.
		In the United States, the prohibition on the sale of animal lungs for human consumption means that "real" haggis is extremely hard to obtain: and the smuggling of the genuine article into the States is said to be quite common, especially in the run up to Burns' night.
		And, finally, haggis seems to have been prone to more than its share of what you'd be tempted to call urban mythology were it not such an essentially rural subject.

	September 2, 2002: Why My Family Thinks I'm Weird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ever since we got my stepfather a haggis for Christmas, he has stopped tracking down haggis recipes on line and sending them out to us; and, furthermore, that haggis has yet to be eaten.
		It seems, though, that the society of haggis lovers is a secretive, furtive one; haggis eaters exchange knowing looks while standing in line at the haggis stand while their wives are off getting more sensible food; surreptitious thumbs-up signs are given; few wives will put up with haggis being eaten in their presence.
		And so my "Eat More Haggis!" T-shirt becomes not only a statement of my personal choice in food, but a cry for all of those who eat and enjoy haggis to come out of the shadows and eat their sheep sausage in the open, without fear.
