<div> <font size="3">How true. True haggis uses sheep's lungs and other innards (an American idiom) mixed with oatmeal stuffed into a sheep's stomach. Both lungs and stomach are not considered consumable by the US FDA. That's weird since intestines are considered consumable. And brains. And blood. (I'm eating breakfast as I write this so I think I will stop now.) It is common in many cultures to use everything but the oink, moo, baa, cluck, whatever. However, we now live in a time of plenty (or, rather, excess). We have no shortage of the good cuts and leave the less desirable cuts for the dog food industry.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">There is a group of ladies with the St. Louis St. Andrews Society who gather each year and prepare many, many pounds of haggis for the Burns banquet every year. I don't know the recipe but it is all locally sourced (except, maybe for the sherry). No lugs or stomach here but enough liver to make it necessary for me to add a dash of gravy (amber bead).</font></div>

I was a medical student in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the late 1970s. Money<br>
was tight, but the students' union sold an inexpensive lunch of haggis,<br>
fries (chips) and turnips (neaps). (Probably explains why Scotland, at the<br>
time, had the highest incidence of coronary artery disease in the world).<br>
<br>
Years later I attended a Burns dinner in Boston where they proudly marched<br>
out the haggis. But it was really just meatloaf. Turns out that most of<br>
the ingredients of the real stuff were offal, and banned from consumption in<br>
the USA !<br>

Ah! Suddenly the light dawns! Yes, a wee dram or two (or three) would make<br>
the haggis taste much better!<br>
<br>
But we only got served haggis in the morning, and all the taste tests were<br>
in the afternoon.<br>
