Good place to buy haggis too, as I recall (I know, not a vegetable)

No, it is a wild animal, with legs on one side shorter than on the
other, thus allowing it to go sideways on hills and mountains with
ease. Some friends of mine used to regularly go out haggis hunting
when it was in season armed only with bagpipes, potatoes and neeps.

You failed to add that the rare 'Anti Clockwise Haggis' i.e. those which run
round the hills and mountain in an anti clockwise direction and have shorter
legs on the left, are a delicacy compared to the more common 'Clockwise
Haggis' which has the shorter legs on the right
