Haggis uses lung is only reason I asked. Why it cant be sold in US because of some weird decision that lung is bad.

I need to go find my book on offal recipes. Just wish I remembered where I put it.
I believe lung was banned due to concerns about tuberculosis.

Looked it up. It says risk of gastrointestinal fluids leaking into them during slaughter process raising risk of food-borne illness.
