Haggis-flavoured chocolates
From the land that brought you fried Mars bars, a new culinary horror is unleashed.
There is now a new way to tuck into Scotland's national dish, after a firm launched haggis-flavoured chocolates.
Edinburgh-based chocolate maker Nadia Ellingham said people had been a "bit puzzled" by her creation.
The 43-year-old came up with the idea after creating chocolates inspired by chestnut and cranberry stuffing.
Her recipe includes a range of spices used in haggis, such as nutmeg, black pepper and oatmeal, but excludes the offal part of the dish.

Scotland has at least one moron
And it's not the guy with the flags...
Personalizing a desk is a common tactic for the office worker who faces eight hours in front of a computer terminal. Novelty mousemats, family photos and cuddly toys are popular.
But now one staff member at the National Library of Scotland has provoked a political row after he was ticked off by employers for decorating his desk with several Scottish flags.
The unnamed worker set up three large flags – two saltires and a lion rampant – at his shared work station. He also covered his chair in a red tartan.
The result was an e-mail to all staff warning that such nationalistic displays could "intimidate non-Scottish colleagues".

Ancient burials reveal foreign links in prehistoric Scotland
Recent analysis of 4,000-year-old pots recovered during an excavation of two graves at Upper Largie, near Kilmartin in Argyll and Bute, has provided exciting evidence linking prehistoric Scotland with the Netherlands.
Analysis of the pots by Alison Sheridan, of National Museums Scotland, has revealed early international-style Beakers of the type found around the lower Rhine, which is the modern-day Netherlands and a strange hybrid of styles that suggest Irish and Yorkshire influences.
