Haggis ban...

[Gato_Solo]

and the attempt to get it lifted. I wonder if prof is behind some of this...

The dish is traditionally served with neeps and tatties on Burns night.

It usually contains ingredients such as sheeps lungs, liver and heart minced with onion.

It is boiled in the animal's stomach.

A spokesman for the US Department of Agriculture said: "We do not allow importation because of the UK's BSE status."


"Sheep are susceptible to TSE's and thus the US takes precautions on importing those ruminants from BSE-affected countries."

However, a spokesman for Britain's Food Standards Agency said: "We see no reason at all why people cannot eat haggis safely, so long as manufacturers follow hygiene legislation.

"We have the strictest BSE controls in the world."

"I like mine with lettuce and tomato,
Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes,
Big kosher pickle and a cold root* beer,
Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my....."

I tried haggis when I was in England recently (scottish restaurant). It was really yummy.
