1. They get Dick Cheney
2. They promise to keep Tony Blair out of the US
3. They lock Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert and/or Steve King in the Tower

Might be able to agree to 2 and 3 possibly.

We'll let you pick which one

...send Tony Blair to join Cheney at The Hague!

(A man can dream can't he?)

It's a penance.

Especially when you slosh Henderson's Relish all over it.

You can buy Haggis with synthetic skin in Tesco.

Trouble is that being on my own by the time I've sorted turnips and mash too a lot lands up being binned.

The history of this is that my Morag who died 24 years ago was , yes , Scots. I still root out mutton pies occasionally too.

....but it is wonderful stuff. Much better then Worcestershire sauce.

Ah ... TMI?

A: to get away from the sound.

Disagree about bagpipes. I'm always ready for a good scare.

... we must get our Haggis from Canada.

The sound that would come out of my mouth immediately after attempting to ingest the stuff.

Oh, and I'm of Scottish descent.

anything else that is enjoyed in other countries.

Worry about stuff like shark fins, worry about nasty conditions in slaughterhouses, but good grief, iff they have time to dick around with haggis, traditional cheese making and the like they have too much money and too many people. There should be automatic exemptions for anything that is traditionally consumed in other countries (again, unless it involves something otherwise harmful to the planet like shark fin soup)

I might be pretty far left, but this FDA either has way too much time on its hands or really bad priorities. Or both.

Cover it with good single malt Scotch whisky, lick the whisky off and throw the haggis away

Wolf

that (1) if they would leave the bloody LUNGS OUT they could import all the bloody haggis they wanted, and

(2) Americans aren't going to eat that shit anyway. There is a reason ye can do an entire Burns Supper for three hundred people with one haggis.

(That isn't wrong with pretty much any other 'organ meat'?) Do we ban all lungs in food, or only sheep's?

...of the view that if you are going to kill an animal for meat you should put the whole lot to use, not just the prime cuts.

Also, the mark of a good butcher in my opinion is how well they treat their offal.

Which I believe was theoretically linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) outbreaks in the UK.
