ali-s Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks Louise I love this site and found lots of Haggises (don't know the plural for more than one Haggis) last year. Never won a prize though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Just looking at the site and it mentions Haggii which I guess is the plural! Didn't get it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Click on the Haggis Facts in the top left corner. Hysterical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Just looking at the site and it mentions Haggii which I guess is the plural! Didn't get it though. I didn't read the bit about Haggii The idea is to click on one of the camera options and look for a Haggis If you see one, click on the blue "I saw a Haggis" button (bottom right hand corner). You can win prizes, some of which look very good. I have been doing this for two years and have never won a prize , but I enjoy searching for the Haggis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Och, they've missed out in the facts that Haggii have 2 short legs and 2 long legs so that they can walk on the hills easier. I had a haggis eye for breakfast yesterday morning, with a fried egg and mushrooms - delish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 And that the males leg lengths are the opposite way round to the female so that they can actually meet face to face on their way round the hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Och, they've missed out in the facts that Haggii have 2 short legs and 2 long legs so that they can walk on the hills easier. Och, you've been hoodwinked into believing that myth - here are the facts, quoted from "Haggis Facts": Haggis MythsThey have one leg shorter than another.This misconception originated with a respected English commentator. However, the haggis’s legs are all the same size. Any apparent difference in length could be due to the haggis’s habit of standing in a bog to confuse predators. Quite why this would confuse a predator is unclear as the haggis would be unable to run away, being as it is stuck in a bog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 And that the males leg lengths are the opposite way round to the female so that they can actually meet face to face on their way round the hills. This is also a myth which explains why the haggis is so rare. Two haggises getting friendly are very likely to end up rolling down the hillside, thus rendering baby haggises rather unlikely.
