Haggis
Does anyone know anywhere in the U.S. you can buy canned Haggis, or a web sight that you can order it from Scotland?
We brought some home with us last year from Scotland and my husband really likes it. (I know it's not as good as the real thing.)
Thanks for your help.

Bri, what part of the U.S. do you live in? There are British import stores in my area but it's a big country! You can also order haggis from www.expatshopping.com. If you'd like the addresses of some British import stores in the Los Angeles area, email me at [email protected] & I'll fill you in.

Bri, this web site has a list of British food stores in the US.
http://www.british-expats.com/bfood.shtml
You can't import real haggis because the meat can't be imported. The stuff on the expatshopping site is vegetarian, but it's made by the best haggis maker, Macsween, so it's probably very good. The weescots site has "haggis" made from beef. I think that if you eat this, you will be denied entry to Scotland forever!
However, if you find a store on the list near you, you may find that they have real haggis made locally.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
Daisy54, I will be sending you a email. We live in the Midwest, but will be in L.A. in December.
We will prbably have to go back to Scotland. My husand likes haggis and a whiskey he found over there(Murray's Scottish Highland Liqueur). I have tried to get some of the liqueur sent here, but it is 150.GBP to have a bottle sent to the U.S. Yes, that is the right price,I even called them.
But maybe the haggis is obtainable.
Thanks, Bri

I'd be interested if you find a good haggis in the U.S. I brought some canned haggis home (bought in the grocery section of Selfridge's) and found that it was enhanced with a lot of filler. Filler as in rice or potato or something. Still, it wasn't too bad to eat for breakfast! Just don't expect the "wow" you get from regular haggis!

On a more serious note, this Oregon business says it makes traditional, tried-and-true Scottish haggis:

There was an article about haggis hunting in yesterday's Times.

And David, you should know better than promote an English Glen.
