And anyone else who partakes, Happy Burns Night.

Are people cooking up their haggis? The haggis wellington just went into the oven.

That'll have to wait until at least after the bottle of wine.

Back in the mid 90s, the building in which I was working (just off The Strand) was made to have a fire drill on Burns Day as Malcolm Rifkind was having a photo op by the the Burns statue in the Embankment Gardens*.

It was a cold day, but the table for those actually invited (presumably MPs and/or members of some ghastly Scots ex-pats club or another) was well supplied with Scotch. Not too much of it left by the time the photo-op party was looking for refreshment.


*Fire drill 'requested' by Scottish Office Private Office calling our Private Office, with the blessing of No 10.

Can't do whisky though, vile stuff.

Got a whiskey and mustard sauce on the go to assist the haggis wellington. Neeps and tatties to be piped in a bit.

There was a Caledonian society in Lagos that used to put on a night for Burns night. They also did a St Andrews one and a NYE night.

One of the better sides of the expat social scene.

You can probably get pads for that.

So what's the Scottish vegan version of haggis I'm wondering.

Ok, I thought I'd made that up.

I shall look into it.

That way I can keep my promise to DK I will try haggis without actually eating haggis!

It's the type of thing that lends itself really well to a vegan or vegetarian version. I didn't do that today but certainly something to try, am sure it would be very nice.

The haggis wellington was a success which is nice.

Yep, it definitely lends itself to being veganised. There's lots of recipes out there, but you can get it widely in supermarkets up here too, this one is decent: https://www.macsween.co.uk/products/delicious-every-day-vegetarian/

We've had a Burns night get together and meal the last few years, the other half is a Scot and her Brother normally invites us across London for it. Another tradition sadly gone by the wayside in the last year, and by this time next year they'll be living back in the wastes North of the wall once more.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Hurt my arm this morning and was in hospital for an x-ray.
As I was sitting waiting to be seen, the lad next to me said
"Fair fa'yer honest sonsie face!
Great Chieftain o' the pudding race!"

I turned my head round to the lady sat on my other side and she said
"Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie"

Suprised I said to the next doctor walking past
"Here mate, is this the psychiatric ward?"
"no, sorry, this is the Burns unit"

Hope your arm is okay, mate.
