A Conservative peer has called for the US import ban on haggis to be lifted by suggesting that it may help America tackle its obesity problem.

The import of foods containing animal lungs is banned by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Lord McColl of Dulwich told peers that 24 million American Scots were being denied "this wholesome food".

He claimed haggis "satisfied hunger very much more than the junk food which Americans consume".

I love the stuff ? They don't know what they are missing. There are a few things I would ban from America :D

Not sure that eating haggis a couple of times a year would have much effect on American obesity, but I'm not going to risk going without by emigrating to USA.
 
I love haggis as well, can't eat it now though due to having to be gluten free.
