A butcher in Scotland launches a campaign urging the United States to “make haggis legal again” ahead of the World Cup. According to reports, Simon Howie Butchers, based in Perthshire, is raising support for a change in US law so haggis can be sold legally. The effort is being framed as a way to ensure fans and communities can enjoy the traditional Scottish dish during the tournament, with one campaign slogan reported as “no haggis, no party.”
The campaign highlights that haggis is effectively prohibited in the US following changes to food regulations in 1971. The petition asks for legal recognition that would allow the product to be sold and distributed again, and it seeks responses from lawmakers and relevant authorities across the Atlantic.
While the articles focus on the call for legal reform and the timing around the World Cup, they do not provide details of the specific regulatory mechanism or the prospects for the petition’s adoption. The campaign nevertheless centers on reversing the 1971-era ban or restrictions on haggis in the United States.
