LONDON (Reuters) - Scotland is considering lobbying the United States to
lift a ban on haggis, hoping to boost sales of the sheep-stomach-based
national dish.
The U.S. banned imports of Scottish haggis after Britain's outbreak of mad
cow disease, which is linked to the human brain illness Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease.
Scotland's government insist its haggis -- which usually contains the
heart, liver and lungs wrapped inside a sheep's stomach lining -- is safe
and wants the ban lifted.
"The Scottish government will consider engaging the U.S. government on
its haggis import ban ... It is safe or we wouldn't eat it here," said a
spokeswoman. "We think there is a large market for it amongst expatriate
Scots there."
She cited growing sales of tartans and the prevalence of Scottish clubs as
evidence that Americans were taking greater interest in their Scottish
heritage.
Haggis, a globally recognized symbol of Scotland alongside bagpipes, kilts
and Scotch whisky, is an essential part of Burns night celebrations, which
commemorate national poet Robert Burns and fall on January 25.
Anyone remember the "To-From" on the subject of HAGGIS?

It sounds crazy, but Haggis actually tastes pretty good; I had some on a vacation to Scotland a number of years ago. It tastes like sausage..which makes me curious about what is in sausage.

All 4 of my grandparents were from the same town in Scotland, so I'm a "purebred" Scot and therefore have sampled all the Scottish "delicacies". I agree with Killjoy; Haggis is pretty tasty as long as you don't think about where it comes from.
I forgot the comedian who stated that all Scottish cuisine originated from a dare....."I bet you wonny eat that".

Then i got over it and went back to eating it.
