THank you very much!
It looks like the Lamb is out of stock right now. But, I'm very impressed with the price. I thought it'd be more than that.

Any of the Haggis you order from overseas will be missing an essential ingredient, the USDA won't let any food product into this country that contains sheeps lungs. They say that it is not fit for human consumption.

Yes, I quickly discovered that. So, I figured I may as well try to find it in the states. No need to go through the hassles of overseas orders when it's going ot be essentially the same thing (Haggis minus lungs.)

And lungs by nature are filled with little passage ways and such, thus retaining the blood and making near impossible to fully remove the necessary amount. I don't know, we could be WAY off base. But, it seemed as good a guess as any! Do we have any Xmarks butchers?? Quote: |

While it is true Ham may occasionally contain Haggis - it is equally true that Haggis does not contain Ham :rolleyes:
