The Elusive Scottish Haggis
Comments
There's a whole series of AI-generated mockumentaries on the haggis. But the best mockumentaries I've encountered are these non-AI-generated ones on almond milk:

In my not so humble opinion, the epitome of mockumentaries is the BBC/Panorama presentation concerning spaghetti:

Yes, the BBC spaghetti one is a classic. I wonder if there were any earlier mockumentaries.

@ges I don't think it was earlier, but the Guardian San Seriffe one is deservedly famous.
As for the haggis, I've et one, and and was pretty decent. Not something you'd eat every week, but not bad at all every now and then.

I wasn't aware of the Guardian San Serriffe supplement, but I see it was 20 years after the BBC spaghetti April Fool (1977 vs. 1957). I see the Museum of Hoaxes has a list of the top April Fools of all time. The BBC spaghetti piece is #1, and San Serriffe is #5. https://hoaxes.org/aprilfool/
