ah yes, no................!
All the ingredients including the ground up offal are stuffed into an
emptied out sheep's stomach lining. The lining is tied up in a knot and the
whole thing steamed like a Christmas pudding. Cheaper producers use
specially made plastic lining bags.
If you have not enjoyed a generous helping of haggis, mashed potatoes and
mashed turnips ["neeps'] all helped down with a double or triple measure of
aged single malt Talisker you have not enjoyed one of the culinary delights
of this world.
Do a Wiki search here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis
This is an extract from the Wiki piece:
"Since 1971 it has been illegal to import haggis into the USA from the UK
due to a ban on food containing sheep lung, which constitutes 10 to 15% of
the traditional recipe.[17] The situation was further complicated in 1989
when all UK beef and lamb was banned from importation to the USA due to the
BSE crisis.[17] In 2010 a spokeswoman for the US Department of Agriculture
stated that they were reviewing the ban on beef and lamb products, but the
ban on food containing sheep lung will remain in force.[17]"
