To those north of the border on 18:43 - Jan 25 with 901 views | factual_blue | 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. | |

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

You can probably get pads for that. So what's the Scottish vegan version of haggis I'm wondering. | |

Vegan haggis. It's pretty good actually. | |

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. SB | |

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/ | |

To those north of the border on 23:36 - Jan 25 with 719 views | Coastalblue | 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. | |

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" | |
