A historical moment?

There's actually an amusing thread on Comment is Free: On Haggis. Of course, it is the Guardian, so there's a debate about the ethics of haggis farming versus hunting...

I liked the appearance of the hoary clockwise and anti-clockwise subspecies and "Stop the Bloody Wailing".

The old ones are the best! Though I've also heard the clockwise thing about sheep....

I have personally pulled off the free-range clockwise haggis one on a mini-bus of Americans (somehow they wanted to pass on the battered haggis from the chip shop in Girvan). They also asked what a field of oilseed rape was. We told them, "Pineapples. A lot of people think that you can't grow pineapples in Scotland..."

Hah! Brilliant!

One of the boys was a brilliant improviser. (He's grown up to be the presbtyerian equivalent of a lay preacher, so I'm not sure what that says...)

I've heard the sheep version too.
