When in Denmark last week one traditional restaurant had Danish Haggis on
the menu. In Malmo our hotel had tartan wallpaper, the Scottish influence
did not extend to Irn-Bru in the mini bar.

Possibly the original haggis.

"Recent research by food writer, Clarissa Dickson Wright, puts forward a 
strong case for haggis being Scandinavian in origin:

   Dishes of a haggis type made in the maw of the animal are still found 
in Scandinavia and visitors from Sweden eat haggis with great relish and 
invariably remark on its resemblance to some dish in their local 
cuisine.   Relations between Scotland and the Nordic world go back to 
the 9th century.   Norsement, raiders at first, very soon became 
settlers and farmers.  It was late in the 15th century before Orkney and 
Shetland finally ceased to be dependencies of the Danish crown.  The 
impact of the Norse was far greater than that of the French; they are 
part of Scotland's historic fabric.

    The root of the word haggis is not from Latin languages, and its 
origin appears to be Scandinavian.  There is no doubt that the word 
haggis is related to such words as the Swedish hagga - meaning to hew or 
chop; and the Icelandic hoggva, with the same meaning.  All in all, the 
Scandinavian case is a very strong one.  The haggis, it seems, came to 
Scotland in a longboat even before Scotland was a single nation.1
