I worked with one (kilt wearer, bagpipe player, very enthusiastic) and the subject of haggis came up, or I should say he "he brought it up". ..... I doubt he is the only American of Scottish ancestry who wouldn't eat haggis if you paid him to do so!

Interesting pedigree on the dastardly politician trying to singlehandedly solve the post-independence budget issues ...
