Haggis Scottish? No! It’s English

This story from England, that claims that haggis was an English dish, won’t go down well with the Scots.

Historian Catherine Brown said she found references to the dish inside a 1615 book called The English Hus-Wife. The title would pre-date Robert Burns’ poem To A Haggis, which brought fame to the delicacy, by at least 171 years.

But it does seem feasible.
