What is Haggis anyway? part two

Back in February we asked, "What is Haggis anyway?" and now the question has been asked again, in London.
One one out of five people in Britain thinks that haggis, the traditional Scottish dish meat dish made with the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal is a creature that lives in the hills, according to a survey.
Commissioned by the online takeaway food service Just-Eat.co.uk, the survey found that 18 percent of Britons believe that haggis is a hilltop-dwelling animal.
Another 15 percent said it is a Scottish musical instrument while 4 percent admitted to thinking it was a character from Harry Potter.
The survey questioned 1,623 people across Britain to see how well they were acquainted with traditional Scottish food.
Even 14 percent of the 781 Scottish people polled said they did not know what haggis was.
