Are animal bursas used as human food? 

A bursa can be any sac-like structure. But I am referring to the tough
fluid-filled sacs near joints.

Animal by-products in frankfurters, bologna, sausage might include
bursas. But I am looking for the specific use of the bursa as a food.

For example, imagine haggis made by stuffing offal, oats etc. into
bursae instead of animal stomachs.

In other words are bursas eaten directly like other "variety" meats
e.g. tripe, tongue.

Check my past questions and you will see that although I always set a
low price, I give full star ratings to researchers and am not a
difficult or picky customer.

I gave this a shot, but I didn't find any evidence that bursae are
specifically eaten, other than as ground-up byproducts.

I must say that this was the most intriguing question I've researched
today, so -- even though I did not find an answer for you -- I feel
rewarded by the pleasure of the quest.

I hope someone turns up some bursa burgers, bursa bits, or bursa bouillon for you.

As it may take more than a few minutes to research this question, I
suggest that you consider  increasing your price, or reducing the
complexity of your question.
