Haggis
Anyone know where I can find some in the States, preferably local to Chicago? And, YES, I HAVE tried using search engines with varying degrees of success - most companies seem to sell something that is waaay too big (and expensive) for one person to eat.
I'm hoping NOT to have to order online although I guess I will if I have to. I'd be grateful if anyone could let me know of a store they found it in or whatever.
Many thanks.

I used to know a guy that would make his own haggis. He would probably swear like a sailor if he found out about canned haggis

Re: Haggis
This is the site I was thinking of earlier. It's called Lamb, etc. and there's a link right at the bottom of the page for haggis.
The site sells other Scottish (and Irish) stuff.
