Burns' night boost for famous Scottish dish that fell victim to BSE fears




Haggis was banned by US authorities in 1989 because they feared its main ingredient - minced sheep offal - could prove lethal.

Smuggled and bootlegged, it has been the cause of transatlantic tensions for more than two decades. But after 21 years in exile, the haggis is to be allowed back into the United States.


sheep for more on haggis see .........

Burns night is tomorrow, 25 January.

This is for real, I just heard it on the TV news also.

Although BSE was cattle related I seem to recall there was an issue because cattle were fed with minced sheeps remains in with the cereals so there was a fear it could have a link with sheep.

Who cares, I think it is delicious also regardless of the effect ......

What does Haggis taste like?? I have eaten some odd things like liverwurst, Souse, Boudain and Beef heart. Liverwurst is one of my favorites especially served on toasted bread with a slice of tomato and a dab of horseradish mustard.
