Frequently asked questions

Is the Haggis really a Scottish Haggis?

Unfortunately, it is not. It's an American version created by the owner of Scottish Gourmet INC who is indeed a real Scotsman! Also, it is NOT cooked in a sheep's stomach either. Almost every guest to our Burns Nights of the past have liked our Haggis.
