7 ILLEGAL FOODS IN U.S.A.

Your neighbor's pet ...

Not sure if it's formally illegal in the US (yet), but I suspect you will feel the full force of popular condemnation if the next door wiener dog or Siamese cat finds itself gracing your dinner table as Nouvelle Cuisine hors d'oeuvre ...

I personally love Foie gras, and haggis, by the way ...
If you want gross stories about that sort of thing, i am full of them.

Its like the chinnese buffet that got closed down. The inspectors had an issue with the genuine illegals they had broght in from china. And with the actual mice being found in the fried oysters. When it was shut down, no more pets went missing. The minute it started up 2 months ago, after a 3 year stoppage, the very first day of operation the first missing pet poster in 3 years went up.
 
I haven't eaten Haggis, puffer fish, or the casu marzu. I've only had one Kinder egg years ago while it was still legal. I've eaten a lot of foie gras (best was at Picasso's in Las Vegas), and adore saltfish with ackee but have only had it in Jamaica. The Chilean Sea Bass used to be a staple at restaurants around here and was something my wife frequently ordered, so naturally I've had a few bites of that.

Do I remember reading somewhere that poached eggs are not allowed to be sold in the US?

Edit: It was here!

New Jersey. Sheesh.
Also the only state in the union where you can't pump your own gas.

There might be something to it. Apparently in the US the way the factories wash the eggs removes the outer layer of shell, which can allow bacteria to get in. That's why eggs are usually stored refrigerated in the US, while in most other parts of the world they are not.

I know about the washing thing, can't say I'm opposed one way or the other, but I'm happy to see that New Jersey lifted the silly egg yolk law.
Now, we just have to get them to let people pump their own gas like Oregon did in 2023.
