one earlier poster made note of the narrowing of the American diet, and that kind of waste is not sustainable. we need to think about how to make better use of the "waste" cuts that we trash. I won't belabor the little history of haggis that I know, but I will say that I have done a fair amount of International travel, and to reject someone's food is to reject their culture at some level. Most of our memories of "home" wherever that may be, have to do with meals and shared experiences. I have spent a lot of time in India, and while I am no fan of Gol Gappa/Pani Puri I have eaten it with my cohorts because not to do so would be impolite. A "no thank you" serving was taught to me as a child, and I remember being reprimanded for calling dolmade (which I now LOVE) cigars...anyway, to not even TRY the haggis seems boorish to this Yank.
