Missing haggis in California
I picked up a recipe book in a bookstore on a recent trip back to God's Own Country, where I found to my surprise that the Germans also eat haggis (but they call it Hackwurst), and that haggis probably originated in the North of England.
I love haggis but the fat content puts it off my permissible eating list nowadays (old age is a bitch). There is a vegetarian version, made by McSween's of Bruntsfield in Edinburgh, but I haven't given that a try yet. The Frugal Gourmet guy did a "mock haggis" recipe which looked healthy (and no organ meats, just regular ground beef) but I drew the line when he poured whisky in it. Whisky is for washing it down!
