Haggis

The ban, in place since 1971, guards against the import of sheep lungs, a traditional ingredient in haggis, but which is not regarded as fit for human consumption in the US.

Judging by American eating habits, I was unaware that the United States regarded anything as unfit for human consumption except, I guess, other humans.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, they'll be adding offal to everything. Fortunately China doesn't have a lot of sheep, but Australia is close by, and pig offal could stand in. Also, Asians eat all sorts of icky things, so if you open the door, filler flies in.

No, no, Humans are allowed, but not the lungs.
