For centuries it has been
                        a symbol of Scotland alongside tartan, bagpipes and whisky.But haggis is actually an
                        English creation, a food historian has discovered.The claim has sparked a
                        fierce backlash from proud Scots who eat the dish every January to celebrate
                        the poet Robert Burns, who wrote in praise of 'the great chieftain of the
                        puddin' race'.Food historian Catherine
                        Brown has found mentions of haggis in an English cooking guide from 1615 which
                        proves it was being eaten south of the border some 171 years before Robert
                        Burns wrote his Address to the Haggis.
This won't go over well...
                       Food historian Catherine Brown claims that haggis, the traditional Scottish meal of sheep's pluck, is in fact of English origin.
