Europe is renowned for gastronomical finesse. Sampling the specialties of the continent can be wonderful providing that proverbial party in your mouth.
Sadly, not every dish can make it across the Atlantic in perfect form. There are rules, you see. Some of Europe's most celebrated (or notorious) delicacies have to be modified before they reach American mouths. Other are banned completely.
There's no doubt that if you dig hard enough you'll be able to find some of this stuff in the U.S., but, nevertheless, here's 10 European delicacies that face bans in America.
Sheep's heart, lungs and liver are minced, seasoned and boiled in a sheep's stomach. Haggis is traditionally eaten on Burns' Night, a celebration of Scottish poet Robert Burns. It's usually served accompanied by bagpipes and a rendition of Burns' own "Address to a Haggis."
Authentic haggis is hard to come by in the U.S. due to a ban on sheep's lung. There was talk last year of the ban being lifted, but it came to nothing. It is available in a (completely unauthentic) vegetarian variety, if you're that way inclined. You can also use sheep's tongue as a lung substitute.
Originating out of Switzerland, this is another product that's available in the U.S. but with limited authenticity.
Previously hard to come by until 2007, there are still regulations on the highly alcoholic spirit. Branding it as "Absinthe" is illegal (so many bottles just say "Absinth" instead). There's also restrictions on how the bottles are decorated. Importantly, the spirit can't contain thujone the naturally occurring chemical that gives truly authentic absinthe its fabled hallucinogenic effect.
The controversial pate, made by force feeding geese via tube to fatten up their livers, was outlawed in Chicago in 2006, though it recently made a return to Chi-town's culinary scene.
That doesn't mean foie gras is off the hook though. The delicacie is due to be outlawed in California in 2012 though some chef's are saying they'll endure heavy fines to keep the dish on their menu.

Home to Mayor Bloomberg, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Ricky Gervais and many other notable celebrities, including Madonna and her $40 million mansion on 81st St, the Upper East Side is one of the wealthiest areas in the city.
But at the moment, on 2nd Ave. at 72nd St. it isn't as glamorous as it sounds.
Construction of the UES segment of the new subway line has been going on for over a year and won't be completed until at least 2016, according to MTA plans.
Current estimates for the first phase of the line's construction, which will extend from 96th St. to 63rd St., put the cost at almost $5 billion. The contract for the 72nd St. station is $431 million, funded entirely by the Federal Transit Administration.
Business Insider went to check out the site and see how it is coming along. While some residents and plenty of shop owners are annoyed by the inconvenience of the construction they are looking forward to having a convenient subway stop...eventually.

Cases of animals being infected by behavior-modifying parasites are popping up throughout the animal kingdom, including zombie ants and rats that become sexually attracted to cats.
In an even creepier development, a virus affecting caterpillars is beginning to change behaviors as well, making it the first classic example of a zombie infection come to life.
According to Ars Technica, virally infected European gypsy moth caterpillars behave in a way that their healthy brethren never would. The virus makes the caterpillar climb to the top of a tree, die, and liquefy, so the virus can spread to other caterpillars via rainfall. Normally, these caterpillars stay deep in the soil or tree trunks to avoid detection -- but in order for the virus to propagate it needs to find a way into new hosts.
Scientists identified the "egt" gene as the affected area of the caterpillar brain. Removal or insertion of the gene caused the caterpillar to either continue regular function or to climb to the highest point in the area to die, respectively.
On the other hand, the aforementioned zombie ants are infected by a fungus that drives the ant to stumble drunkenly through the forests of Thailand. The zombie ants take a bite of a leaf around noon -- cued by either sunlight or humidity -- and remain there with their mandibles clenched until they die at sunset, allowing the fungus to spread to the leaf.
A particularly twisted single-called parasite called Toxoplasma gondii infects rats. The parasite, which can only reproduce in cats, causes their hosts to pursue, rather than run from, their natural cat enemy. The cat eats the infected rat, allowing the infection to live on.
When the rats smell cat urine, they normally freeze and then run. But the infection activates the sexual arousal part of the brain instead, giving them "fatal feline attraction."
Doctors say that humans are not affected by Toxoplasma gondii in the same way as rats, though there are reports linking Toxoplasma to schizophrenia.
