Haggis
editThanks for your message. I removed the part about "which indicate that the dish was well-known and popular in England at that time." because the cite does not make this conclusion. And the specific text quoted doesn't either. All it indicates for sure is that the writer knew of it and was keen on it. The BBC cite specifically says "the author made it quite clear haggis was enjoyed by everyone, not just Scots." Emphasising the English is therefore putting undue weight on that nationality alone that may be interpreted as an claim of origin. Something that isn't made. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
