And, when you think about it, is haggis something you really want shipped across the ocean?

I have been to see the Scotsmen in Kearney, and it's fine haggis they have. Better than in Scotland, probably because it has to be if anyone will eat it. "Fine" is, of course, relative,

When in Edinburgh years ago, when I ordered haggis just to see what it was like, the waitress treated me with extreme scorn and threw the plate down on the table. It turns out everyone there talks about haggis, and buys it at the appropriate times of year, but no one eats it. I couldn't fins out what they do with it, since the dogs and cats seen to hate it, too. Pigs, maybe?

It really wasn't that bad. A bit gritty, but I thought it better not to ask.
