Haggis not invented in Scotland, says historian

LONDON: A food historian has claimed Scotland's famous delicacy haggis was invented by the English before being hijacked by Scottish nationalists as their own, reports said on Sunday.

Haggis, sheep's heart and lungs chopped up with spices and oatmeal, stuffed into a sheep's stomach and boiled, is often served with a glass of Scotch whisky.

Historian Catherine Brown said she has discovered references to the dish in a recipe book dated 1616 and titled The English Hus-Wife.
