Oregon
Oregon doesn't have many unusual restrictions when it comes to food or drinks, so here's a food that's banned there and all 49 other states: haggis. For those who don't know, haggis is a traditional Scottish dish, served as a savory pudding that contains sheep's pluck (liver, heart, lungs) and is minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt and combined with stock. It was originally cooked encased in the animal's stomach, but now artificial casing is (unsurprisingly) preferred. The reason this "delicacy" is banned from the States is because it's illegal to import foods containing sheep lung. Guess you can't knock it 'til you've tried it!
