Hard Hearted Harbinger of Haggis
I’ve never had haggis. I never knew it existed until I saw So, I Married An Axe Murderer. After reading what’s in it, I’m not sure I ever want to try it. Haggis, according to the AP, contains sheep’s liver, heart, and lungs wrapped in the sheep’s stomach. Mmm, Mmm good. Those nutty Scots and their sheep.
Now, I don’t want to get into an international trade discussion, but the Scots have been unable to import this odd delicacy since the mad cow scare. Our finicky government doesn’t want this potentially dangerous food near the potentially dangerous food we already consume (see the Philly Steak Burger from a certain national franchise…).
I disagree. I think the haggis should be allowed back in the country. If someone wants to eat it (knowing full well the ingredients), they should be free to contract mad cow disease as nature intended.
Carry on, Citizens!
