Burn's Night, 2013


January 25th, Burn's Night.

Made a faux haggis.  No sheep's lungs were to be found locally so based on liver and heart and, in the absence of a sheep's stomach, used an oven bag to hold it all together.  It was placed in a ceremonial haggis sacrificing altar, had Mr Burn's address read to him and then was dispatched as humanely as possible.

All present were surprised how nice it tasted.



The starter was a lot more colourful: smoked salmon, beetroot & horseradish cream.
The spoon, by the way, was for the dessert (Atholl Brose).



George in a  Jimmy hat.  Or vice versa.

  2. Awww, George looks absolutely gorgeous, yes, he has to keep the family traditions.
    I think I would skip the faux haggis and just have the first course thank you.

  3. Had never had haggis until a tour of Scotland this year - rather liked it!
    Athol Brose, now that is something else!

  5. The hair comes with the hat, not with the baby!
