As a Canadian, The Kinder Egg always makes me laugh.
As a kid, I remember going to bday parties where the mom would bake a cake and put coins in it. As you at the cake, if you chopped down on a nickel, you were happy. If you bit down on a quarter, it was the best party every.

This list reminds me of how badly I wanna try Foie Gras, Haggis and Ackee & Saltfish
I'll pass on the Casu Marzu though

oh man the money cakes are bringing back a lot of memories. I loved when Mom made them for my birthday.
As a fellow Canadian, the Kinder Egg thing is weird. I just can't see anyone choking on the plastic container inside. But I suppose stranger things have happened.
Haggis I've had at a Robbie Burn's night. Not my favourite dish at all.
A buddy of mine worked in Corsica for few years as a chef and tried casu martzu. He said it was vile.
Didn't realize y'all down there banned haggis. Somehow "Behold the Rustic, hamburger-fed. The trembling Earth resounds his tread" just calls up weird images in my head. 
Frankly, I never used the lungs anyway. Diesel trucks and acid rain are not a good look for a celebratory meal.
O.H.

The only US food bans I can remember feeling a little resentful about were those of mimolette, absinthe, and tonka beans. The first two were lifted, so no problems now with those — my impression is that the mimolette ban might have actually inspired more local versions to take hold even after the ban. Tonka beans are still banned though unfortunately.
I'm sure I could think of some others too if I tried hard. I tend not to like these kinds of bans even when I'm not interested in the food.

They sell Haggis on Amazon, but still a hard pass for me!
Interesting post by the way.
I’ve eaten foie gras in Philadelphia twice in the past year. It’s legal and it’s delicious
Chilean Sea Bass illegal? C'mon, NO. Expensive, yes.
It has been over-fished but can be purchased in the US if legally harvested.
I prefer halibut but it's realistically out of my price range these days.
Red snapper here on the California coast is a sustainable alternative I can afford.

All animal lungs are banned for sale in the US since 1971.
There are plenty of Haggis recipes that don't use it, and it's just fine.
So, Haggis isn't illegal but you can't get sheep (or other animal) lungs in it here.

No lungs in my haggis is a deal breaker for me.

That's why they put warning labels on strollers to stop mothers from folding the kid in the stroller, yes strange things do happen.

Mexican Vanilla and Coumarin
Does some Mexican vanilla contain coumarin, a substance that causes liver and kidney failure?
