OT: SC - Haggis??

[Michael F. Gunter]

I think you will find Ras is correct.  Cabbage is one of the oldest
cultivated plants, so old that a number of variants were in existence by the
time Rome became a world power.

Because they are so wide-spread and all the same species, the loss of a type
of cabbage in English gardens does not denote its extiction, merely a change
in English tastes.
