New Year Tradition
French Haggis Myth
A common haggis myth is that it was given to the Scots by the French during the Auld Alliance.
It is more likely that Scotland gave it to France. This misconception of the French giving it to the Scots may have originated because their word for minced meat is hachis.
Haggis was called “le pain benite de l'Ecosse” (Holy bread) in France during the Middle Ages.
A variation of the usual “Haggis” ingredients is to make a non-traditional French Terrine !
