U.S. could lift ban on importing haggis

If you’ve been dragging your feet on trying haggis because it’s illegal to import, well, you might not have that excuse for much longer.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has indicated it will review the ban instituted 21 years ago because of food-safety concerns about the Scottish dish. U.S. officials were worried about the offal ingredients, such as sheep’s lungs, in the traditional preparation that usually consists of spices, stock and offal simmered in a sheep’s stomach.
Today, British and Scottish haggis is banned in the United States, so American enthusiasts typically have to go to great lengths to recreate it.
