One of Scotland’s leading butchers has launched a campaign for the US to legalise haggis ahead of the World Cup.

Perthshire-based Simon Howie Butchers is behind the petition to “make haggis legal again”. Or: ‘MHLA’, for American readers who crave a simpler four-letter acronym that can fit on a cap.

First things first... For those of you who haven’t yet had the pleasure, haggis is a savoury Scottish institution containing sheep’s pluck (heart, liver, lungs), minced with onions, oatmeal, spices, and traditionally encased and served in the animal’s stomach.
