A Month of Haggis (and other tasty bits)

On Tuesday we're celebrating Hogmanay and January 25th is Burns Night so I ordered two American haggis from Scottish Gourmet USA. One of these days I think I'll try making my own. Maybe for next year.

Others will be providing the rest of the board with traditional Scottish fare:

  • Cockaleekie Soup
  • Neeps and tatties (Rutabaga and potatoes)
  • Bannock bread
  • Venison pies and Forfar Bridies
  • Rumbledethumps
  • Sweets - Cranachan, Burrebrede (Scottish shortbread), Black Bun and Tipsy Laird Trifle
  • Whisky and Ales


Then we do it all again for Burns Supper on Burns Night.

Since I have to arrive early with the haggis I'm never the first foot. That's usually left to a designated relative of the host.

    If you ever need to communicate with a genuine Scot, here is a handy English to Scottish translator that might help. http://www.scotranslate.com/

    For example, I've run your comment above through it, and it suggested this:

    "Ye kin dae a search oan th' inturnet fur th' rest ah hud tae learn aboot it a' a few years ago 'n' fun a ton o' info oan th' inturnet. Rampant scootlund is a guid steid tae stairt."
