Smuggled and bootlegged, it has been the cause of transatlantic tensions for more than two decades. But after 21 years in exile, the haggis is to be allowed back into the United States.
The "great chieftan o' the puddin-race" was one of earliest casualties of the BSE crisis of the 1980s-90s, banned on health grounds by the US authorities in 1989 because they feared its main ingredient ‑ minced sheep offal ‑ could prove lethal.

USDA will need to see what this entrails before it hits the stores.

Don't understand this at all.
Haggis has been available here for years - only not in the traditional way of being cooked inside the sheep's stomach. In the US plastic is used instead.
To any Freepers celebrating Burn's Night tonight..enjoy your haggis.

Well then puke in the haggis display case so it doesn’t ruin anything important.
Plus, if you puke there no one will know.
(I’m only kidding — actually, I’d like to sample some of it just so I could say I have. Haggis, I mean, not your puke.)

How many drams of scotch does one need before ingesting haggis?
