Am looking for a reliable American source for Haggis to help celebrate Hogmanay with friends.

I found Scottish Gourmet USA as one source. Are they reliable? Do you know of any others?

That source reads well and that's the best I can add to the conversation besides noting that the smaller haggis is made from chicken instead of lamb. I guess I'd ask the company if they use traditional steel cut oats in their product.

Thank you. I went ahead and ordered the 5 lb yesterday. I'm not sure where you found the word "Chicken". According to Scottish Gourmet ingredients tab for all of its Haggis sizes, it says:
Ingredients: Lamb meat, beef liver, oatmeal, onions, and spices.

They said it will definitely arrive by Friday. We'll see:C

The site even offers a vegetarian Haggis but I'm told that's a blasphemy against the heart and soul of Scotland.

I appreciate the fact that the site offers Cooking Instructions and Serving Instructions.

Should be interesting. We like lamb.

Haggis: it's not for Hogmanay anymore.:B

The link first opened to the Balmoral Chicken Haggis for me so I figured that's what you were considering to purchase :).

I'd eat Mary's little lamb in a NY minute and her mutton of a mother too. Makes my DGD wonder about my ability to eat anything sooo cute but in retaliation, I keep showing her pics of fluffy baby chicks just before I serve her grilled Cornish hens, her fav meal. Gonna make her an unabashed adventurous carnivore or die trying :D.
