Burns Night 25th January ~ I’ve had my haggis ~ Have you had yours?

A survey of American tourists in Scotland found that 33% of US visitors think that haggis is an animal and that 23% thought that they could catch one:

The company said it had interviewed one tourist who thought the haggis was “a wild beast of the Highlands, no bigger than a grouse, which only came out at night”. Another claimed it sometimes ventured into cities, like a fox.
