    When I lived in Scotland, many years ago, it was normal practice to sell granite/stone eggs to American tourists as haggis eggs.

    Always sold out, regardless of price, and couldn’t keep up with demand.

    That's interesting, I did some googling and I am confused. That may apply to music, but when I did a barrel making course a very long time ago, they said one bit was a stave, and more than one were staves. Gotta love English.
