Neeps and Tatties for Burns Night

Today is Burns Day (the 25th of January) and all over the world people will be going to Burn’s Suppers, eating traditional Scots food and toasting Scotland’s National Poet.

Burn’s Suppers are famous for The Haggis. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have eaten Haggis – it may be traditional Scottish food, but I have fairly successfully have managed to avoid it for the past 25 years. To me it just doesn’t sound very appealing.

However there are other parts of the traditional Burn’s supper I want to partake of (and no not just the Whisky).

Summer Food: Steak and Potatoes

On Friday Scotland had some of the most beautiful weather, unfortunately I was at work. When I finished I immediately dashed to the supermarket to pick up some summery food. Like always the first hint of sunshine there is everyone dashes to the supermarket for meat to barbecue. Not one burger or sausage! So I just had to make do with steak, shame 🙂
