Well, why not make your own? Other than the lungs, which are illegal
to sell in the USA, you cn get the rest of the ingredients for
"traditional" haggis. I say "traditional" because there are a number
of haggis recipes that do not involve using organ meats. In fact, the
actual period recipes I have for haggis are of this later type. For
more info on haggis, including recipes both period and post period,
check this file in the Florilegium:
