SC - haggis

[LYN M PARKINSON]

Stefan writes >> It seems to incorporate a wide variety of
what I was beginning think of as different types of haggis.<<

I recall seeing some period drawings of cooks working over huge
cauldrons, which seem to contain a number of different items.  Dorothy
Hartly describes the technique of cooking multiple items in one pot,
which seems to have gone on into her lifetime, in some parts of England.

Perhaps our various haggis -es [haggii?] are, originally, simply
combinations than can be easily cooked in this most convenient
container--an animal's stomach.  It later becomes Robert Burns' version.
