Domestic haggis, perhaps?

Only the official Wuhan brand. Ask for it by name.

The manufacturer in Maine does not use Sheeps lung for their haggis.

There are a number of cheeses that are illegal in the US. Casu Marzu is a special type of Sardinian cheese. If the maggots are still alive, it’s good to eat. But if your Casu Marzu has dead maggots, it’s best not to eat it.
