Best place to get Haggis in the US?

[Rlail]

Just attended my first Burns Supper and had a blast! The gentleman putting it on did a great job with the Haggis, but by his own admission "wasn't the real thing". The question is, does anyone have enough experience with what's the closest equivalent we can get in the US?

Anything imported or commercial would be inferior to learning to make it, so....

Recipes, anyone?

I have heard it said that some of the animal parts used in authentic haggis would be declared "unfit for human consumption" in the USA. Does anyone know if this information is correct?

I understand it's because the Department of Agriculture ruled some time back that lungs cannot be used as human food. So both imports and local products cannot include them. Even making your own might be a problem in sourcing the ingredients.

That said there are some less-authentic (or traditional) versions available without lungs - I have even come across venison haggis.

Thanks! I'll give those a try. And I'll keep an eye out for a local sheep farmer too
