Dayna Evans · 06/30/14 10:20AM

Americans, who are unforgiving pussies about the kinds of foods they'll eat, are set to be repulsed and disgusted by a new meal: The decades-long ban on imported haggis—a Scottish delicacy made from sheep's meat stuffed inside a sheep's stomach—might be getting lifted soon. Run for the hills.

That's about as close to suspense as you'll find on one of these shows.
