British War Office Gives Official Recognition
to the National Dish of a
Scots?Famed in Song MEA
and Story.
London.?Scotchmen all over the YV/p
world should thrill with delight at
the news that the war office at last
has given its official recognition to
their national dish the haggis. With VIC
the laudable object of malting the
trenches as homelike as possible to
the Scottish troops. Mrs. Porter Brown
of No. 1G Holland road, Kensington, is
raising a fund to provide for them U&
real Scotch haggis in bulk. If this
does not bring to them the scent of *
the heather and the music of the burn
nothing will. Ek
The haggis is one of the few uational
dishes which has retained its
splendid isolation. Except maybe on gHBnjfl
Burns nights or at private gatherings
of exiles from north of the Tweed it jraHR
is seldom seen in England. To Scotch
whisky and shortbread, especially the
former, the Southron has taken very
kindly, but to him tho haggis is still
an alien, probably because it is still ^
too strong for his more delicate stom- ? , '
ach.
For the "great chieftain o' the
puddin' race," as Burns calls it, is to
the Sassenach a fearful and wonderful
wild fowl. It is made of a sheep's
heart, liver and lungs, with some of
the smaller intestines. These are seasoned
with pepper, salt and onions,
and the whole is chopped up fine, with
suet and oatmeal. Then the mixture
is rammed into the membiane of a
sheep's stomach and boiled. And this
it is which has helped to make Scotland
wlmt she is today. Says Burns, ' : *
addressing tho' haggis:

And m>w M^., Brown's fund is to be W'-recognized
by the War' offlte. '.Her

you, there is all Scotland in the liagfis.
