I’m sure the stereotypes of American tourists being ignorant aren’t all true. But things like this story make you wonder.
A third of US tourists who were quizzed about their trip to Scotland said they believed the haggis was a creature.
The survey also revealed that almost a quarter of those questioned thought that they could hunt and catch the country’s most famous dish.
They have legs of different lengths on either side of their bodies, you know. So they can graze steep mountainsides without falling over….
Ah… but everyone knows its illegal to hunt haggis except for the time between 6th of January and Burns Night! And then, lets face it, its a bit to cold tae be running about in a kilt! Personally i applaud the haggis farmers who allow people all over the globe to enjoy this speciality as there is no way that the supply would meet the demand if they were all only able to be taken within this hunting restriction!
