Scotland's national dish -- a savory pudding made from sheep's heart, liver and lungs, mixed with oatmeal and spices and encased in sheep's intestines -- has been banned in the United States for almost half a century.
But the Scottish government has said the law on haggis may be scrapped as early as next year and the country's haggis makers are already preparing for the big event.
"This could be colossal," said James Macsween, managing director of 60-year-old haggis business Macsween.
Scots have been battling the import ban since 1971, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) ruled that "livestock lungs shall not be saved for use as human food."
