Looking to purchase haggis (in a can) (or purchase ingredients - sheep liver, heart, stomach, tongue) somewhere near Durham.

Where they don't have it:
Kroger
Harris Teeter
Southern Season
Otis and Parker
Around the World Market

Where they don't have ingredients
butcher shops in Durham
Cliff's Meat Market in Carrboro


Any suggestions?

Why??

Is Robert Burns' birthday approaching? Or are you intending a practical joke on someone?

There are a handful of places to find haggis in a can online, but whew... I just can't imagine eating haggis that comes out of a can. I've made homemade haggis a few times and getting the ingredients is always a battle or involves having a butcher special order the pluck. I have substituted beef liver (easier to find) for sheep liver before and the results aren't that bad. If you use the beef liver, use it sparingly. It is far more potent than sheep liver.

I have also made a version without the pluck that is done in a meatloaf pan. I know, I know... not exactly haggis, but as you already know the stuff is hard to come by. It turned out pretty well. My wife likes it much better than the real thing. It's more like Haggis-Lite.

I'm guessing some blood and guts needed for Halloween.

Try to hold your breath (literally) while you are in there. That place smells so bad I upchucked the last time I was there and have refused to go back.

Oh, NO! Sorry to hear that. I've been there MANY times & I have a sensitive nose & luckily have never had that happen.

I think it depends on which day you go. I've noticed that the day before their fish shipments tends to be a bit hairy in there.

There's a sheep farm in Orange County you could try calling. It's called Little River Ranch. Their email is broberts1@nc.rr.com and phone number is 644-0743. Even if they couldn't provide you with what you need they probably know someone in the area that could.

Two suggestions:

Whole Foods
World Market (not the same as Around the World Market)
