'Haggiwigs' were exported all over the world from Scotland. The industry was forced to stop using the animals pelts after protests from animal cruelty group PETA, which in turn led to the decline in popularity of the haircut. To this day it is near impossible to locate a hairy haggis on general sale, except in one butcher's shop on Skye.Figbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347247140285284439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-24694393265394541222013-01-26T00:01:20.934-05:002013-01-26T00:01:20.934-05:00Last year I went to a Burns Night celebration here...Last year I went to a Burns Night celebration here in Knysna, South Africa. I couldn't find a MacGregor tartan kilt to fit, so had to slum it in a suit. But it was a marvellous evening, complete with pipes and haggis - imported of course. There is no haggis africanus as far as I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-66649336544756247182013-01-25T17:03:08.923-05:002013-01-25T17:03:08.923-05:00Thank you, Caro, for bringing we non-Scots a wee b...Thank you, Caro, for bringing we non-Scots a wee bit further along the road to appreciating such grand Scottish traditions as "Burns Night." Most Americans would have thought it referred to a roast of Gracie Allen's husband than of the haggis had you not explained. And speaking of haggis, that lovely creature is spared its life over here in the U.S. by reason of a federal ban on its consumption...as described in yesterday's NY Times. http://rendezvous.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/24/denying-american-scots-their-holiday-haggis/<br /><br />And I thank you for including a photograph of a domesticated haggis, albeit it only a pup still with its Farah Fawcett hair. Now, if you'll excuse me I'll switch into a kilt so you'll have no more pant leg left to pull:)) <br /><br />Great piece. The frocked Lassies are lucky to have you as their champion.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-48423441196902319062013-01-25T14:41:57.145-05:002013-01-25T14:41:57.145-05:00I've never been to a Burns Night celebration C...I've never been to a Burns Night celebration Caro. I'd like to. Come to think of it, I've never worn a kilt either. Though I have eaten haggis, neeps and drunk Buckfast on a park bench so I have soaked up some of the Scottish experience :-)<br /><br />Only joking. I've never eaten neeps.Dan Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320741202757960766noreply@blogger.com
