Guess what - having a British Library card I went there today (for other reasons) and this 1615 book does not mention  the word Haggis - rather it mentions a mutton pudding- a feature common to 17th century cook books (I know as I have read a ton of them)!  AND its a multi part book called the Country Contentments not The English Hus Wife (which is only a part of the book).  So take the report, as they say, with a pinch of salt.

Scotland should cash in and force scot eggs to be Scottish

Hmm, I thought Haggis was the teacher in charge of nature creatures in Harry Potter  :lol:
