From: someone He was certainly not born in Ireland, but I thought he came from the Northwest of England.
Perhaps that region was part of Wales back then? It was, sort of - I believe Cumbria has the same origin as the Welsh for Wales, 'Cymru' and the Latin for Wales, 'Cambria'. Some Welsh place names survive in Cumbria although most are Norse or later.Wikipedia suggests that St Patrick was born in Cumbria but there is a rival theory that he was born near what is now Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset. From: someone I don't think it will for one moment harm the Scots claim on it as its always been a traditional Scottish dish and steeped in Scottish history rather than English Next we'll hear that black pudding was invented in Surrey!!!!! |

From: Conifer Dada there is a rival theory that he was born near what is now Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset. I understand that his mother was on a day trip to Butlins, having caught the old ferry from Penarth. Pep (You may ask why he chose to convert the Irish rather than the English; the answer is that he preferred whiskey to lager.) PS Black pudding was probably brought to Britain by the Romans. In fact "pudding" was originally meat based, not sweet. The following is interesting on the subject, and acknowledges that haggis was not a Scottish invention. http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodpuddings.html

No, that came from Hampshire. First found in a place called Nether Wallop.

From: Deira Llanfair That's why we gave it to the Scots. Scottish cuisine is all based on a dare.

From: Argent Stonecutter I thought the wild English haggis (long tailed haggis) had been hunted to extinction in pre-Roman times, forcing the druids to switch from haggis-tails to mistletoe for their rituals. The Irish haggis was introduced in Scotland by the da Derga but failed to survive south of Hadrian's Wall due to its tendency to explode in the presence of kippers (which eventually led to its extinction in Ireland after an unfortunate accident involving St Patrick and a hangover remedy). Breaking News ... Long Tailed Haggis sighted in areas north and south of the Borders. Possibility the critters may be carrying a humour related disease G'ment advice ... "Stay indoors and tickle someones feet"

How does haggis taste? Like a sausage? The description actually sounds edible compared to the description of lutefisk which sounds horrid.

From: Pserendipity Daniels I understand that is covertly acknowledged by most Irish people that he was actually probably Welsh, although with Roman connections. He was kidnapped by Irish raiders and worked as a swineherd before escaping back to Wales, getting educated and choosing to return to Ireland to educate them in turn. He impressed them by banishing snakes from Ireland, which was pretty sneaky since there had never been any there in the first place. Pep (No, I wasn't there - I'm not quite that old - but that is the version I was told by an Irish historian friend.) PS Haggis is now much more accessible - instead of two hours boling ittakes ten minutes in a microwave; like Christmas pudding.  ) I've heard that the Snakes were really the Druid/Celt/Fini folk, that St.Patrick targeted /faints at the thought of nuked Christmas Pudding
