    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.)

    I'm not 100% sure, but I was discussing it with the dad today. He seemed rather certain that it has to do with the blood and not the meat. He understood that a certain amount of blood is to be removed from the meat. 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??

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

    Americanized Haggis (from Country Living, March 1991)
    1 lb boneless lamb shoulder or breast, cut into pieces (or ground lamb)
    1/2 lb lamb liver, cut into pieces
    1/2 c water
    1 small onion, coarsely chopped
    1 large egg
    3/4 ts salt
    3/4 ts pepper, black
    1/2 ts sugar
    1/4 ts ginger, ground
    1/8 ts cloves, ground
    1/8 ts nutmeg, ground
    1 c oats, rolled, old fashioned
    Heat oven to 350-F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.

    In food processor with chopping blade, process together half of the lamb, the liver, water, onion, egg, salt, pepper, sugar, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg until well combined. Add the remaining half of the lamb and the oats; process until well combined.

    Spoon lamb mixture into the greased pan; pat surface to level. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until center feels firm when gently pressed. Cool 5 minutes in pan; unmold onto platter; slice and serve.

    Notes: This skinless haggis is planned for American tastes, yet contains many of the ingredients found in the real thing. You can unmold the loaf and serve it in place of the purchased haggis recipes.

    Why dont you make your own?
