There's good news tonight.  And bad news.  First, the bad news: there is no good news.  Now, the good news: you don't have to listen to the bad news.

Nope.  You can have all the haggis you want.

We can eat organs...
oh god can we...ever heard of chitterlings/chitlins? Straight up pig's intestines, sometimes sold unwashed. Makes your house smell like shit when you cook it too. And we sell turkey's with their heart and several other organs intact, as well as rocky mountain "oysters" (bull testicles), so organ meat is fine to an extent...

IIRC, the problem with haggis is that we can't import products containing sheep's lung because of BSE fears (I don't think we can't import British meat products at all because of this). I'm pretty sure we can make it domestically, but I'm unsure of this, and I doubt there are many domestic producers to begin with.

We can eat offal, I think von might be correct.

However, it is worth noting that we can import Irish breakfast meats. It might be specifically UK. There is a restaurant in Jamaica Plain that serves haggis.

I like how a thread about racism, board drama and all sorts of other et ceteron has become a thread about import restrictions on meat products and whether americans can eat offal or not.

I don't even think it's a matter of that. Over the years lurking here, I've seen threads about a given topic morph into 10 other things. Can't cite anything specific at all, but I can recall many a times seeing a discussion of [X super serious politico-philosophic topic] turn into a discussion about [broken dildos, cat penises, the price of coal in china, etc].

Is fun...

I've helped make/had American-made haggis, and we totally used the lungs. You have to leave the windpipe out of the pot when you boil everything together. No, it wasn't fun, I wanted to fucking vomit. And it wasn't good, but I don't like organ meat to begin with. We also went to a good Hispanic butcher store in Rhode Island (Armando's btw, for you New England spags. MEAT. ALL THE MEAT. GO.) that knew exactly what we needed, and special ordered it all for us without writing it down. Totally bizarre.  :?

Great, now I want Armando's hot empanadas.  :argh!:

That part happens on every forum I've been a part of.  What is unique here IMO is the part Roger mentioned, the PD habit of redeeming a terrible thread simply via correct application of wit.

Personally I love that aspect, given my unfortunate tendency to knee-jerk and tantrum over every thread I create that does not get the response I was hoping for.

This thread is now making me wonder what lung tissue's texture is like. I picturing something like a cross between clams and mushrooms.
I wonder how lung would go as a replacement for pork in gyoza? Hmmm....
