arugula rugelach, originally uploaded by qwrrty.

Last weekend omegabeth and I attended dervishspin's "Snooty Foods" party. Challenged to come up with the snootiest, snobbiest, elitest, most exclusivest snotty food we could imagine, we invented arugula rugelach: arugula (and a little spinach), blended into a pesto with garlic, olive oil, walnuts and asiago cheese, and rolled up in little wedges of rugelach pastry made according to the King Arthur cookbook recipe.

Oh my heavens these things were good. A professional chef in attendance pronounced them the best dish he'd had in a long time, and begged us for the recipe. They disappeared faster than most everything else on the table.

A special shout-out goes to coraline for coming up with the name and inspiring me to actually try to make these work!

Looks like the ban on it was strictly on haggis imported from Scotland..
This is sheep lung, I am pretty sure beef lung and domestic sheep lung is completely legal.
Still looking, though. Illegal foods fascinate and irritate me.

(shrugs) The "imported versus domestically produced" animal parts is not an uncommon distinction...so you're probably right.
