Give Me A Fu**ing Break Haggis Is Scottish

As we are all aware some publicity seeking food historian Catherine Brown has claimed that Haggis was suddenly first invented in England. This woman  claims that after hundreds of years she has  found evidence that Haggis is an English invention. She seemingly  discovered some old English cook book from 1615 that has supposedly found some reference to a haggis dish.

Catherine Brown claims that because, the first written reference of Haggis that  she could find in Scotland was in 1747, okay I get it books were really popular in England and Scotland way back then. I wonder what percentage of the Scottish population that were actually likely to be making and eating  Haggis could actually write or read in those days

I listened to this big traitors interview online and she claims that haggis was an extremely popular dish in England and was eaten and liked by everyone, over 150 years before it was eaten in Scotland, but suddenly, overnight it become unpopular and totally forgotten about. Okay Catherine Brown that really makes sense doesn’t it.

I thought the woman is some sort of historian, so if she claims to know about history she would be fully aware that much of Scotland’s written history was wiped out by King Edward I of England, as he tried to destroy the Scots. For fucks sake there is barely any written historic evidence about Scotland’s greatest ever hero William Wallace, and she expects to find a cook book that from that period of time that has a recipe for haggis in it, give me a break.

I cant believe  that just because some publicity seeking boring food historian says it, we have to take her word as being gospel, give me a fu**ing break. She has sold her soul to make few bob and a name for herself and the English press as they usually do, take her word as being the truth, because it makes for a good story.

The bottom line is that Catherine Brown is trying to drum up interest in her television programme, which basically sounds as boring as her. What’s the best way to get some publicity and that is of course to come out with some crap that will get publicity. How many people had actually heard of this Scottish food historian, before she came out with her crap? What the fuck is a food historian anyway?

Next week she will be telling us that American whisky is better than Scottish whisky, all I can say is, take what this crazy woman says with a rather large pinch of salt! Haggis is Scottish and always will be! Haggis is ingrained in our souls. Mention the word Haggis in England and they think it is some wild animal that runs around the hills in the Highlands of Scotland.

All this talk of Scottish  Haggis has made me ravenous for some, Haggis, neeps and tatties, washed down with some Scottish Single Malt whisky. Haggis is  DELICIOUS and it is a classic Scottish dish.
