Haggis heading back to Canada after 46-year ban - but Canadians don’t seem bothered

Macsween of Edinburgh has developed a slightly different recipe to enable it to sell the treat across the pond.

Haggis purists may not be happy with the change, however, as it removes offal from the recipe in order to meet Canadian import standards.

While the news was celebrated by businesses across Scotland, it seems Canadians on Twitter aren’t too fussed about the Scottish delicacy.

Haggis should be shot on sight.👀

#Offal or not, Scots haggis exports to Canada may resume after 46 years but it's not long enough for most Canucks.

Canada will be able to get real Scotland haggis…you know, the thing made with lamb meat, heart and lungs cooked in its stomach. Can't wait pic.twitter.com/ORQq8sjN2A

A more accurate headline would be "Canada will be able to attempt to enjoy haggis for first time in 46 years".

Don't @ me. https://t.co/VUy1u3vtij

For what its worth, this Scot is sorry.

Just read that a change in recipe will mean that Canadians can once again import Scottish haggis!

I'm so sorry, Canada. So, so sorry. pic.twitter.com/bZpcYdO9JQ
