US Ban on Haggis Imports Challenged.

Looks like it did in So I Married an Axe Murderer.

Scotland is trying to get the US government to overturn a 20 year-old ban on imported haggis.  An import ban on lamb and beef was put in place in 1989 during a massive mad cow outbreak.  Another barrier the Scottish face, the 1971 ban on food products made from lungs.

Haggis is made from grinding up hearts, lungs, livers, and stuffing them into a sheep’s stomach to cook.  

The Scots are flying US government officials to their country to wine and dine them on haggis products.  Hopefully their stomachs aren’t bigger than their brains and they stay true to a ban that has no doubt saved countless Americans from mad cow disease. 

How about a ban on haggis in general, not just of the imported sort?
