Is anyone else doing a Burns Night Dinner tonight?

I'm doing Scottish smoked salmon pate with toast, haggis, potatoes etc, then for pudding scotch pancakes topped with raspberries, Scottish honey and cream.

Not completely a traditional menu, but I've simplified it a little to keep it easy to achieve. Have a great night everyone!

An important public information warning for you at this time.

We're having vegetarian haggis with broccoli and potatoes but don't have swede.

Will celeriac do or is it too similar to potato? It really needs using as we've just been given another from the veg box!

It would, but celeriac soup topped with crispy pancetta is amazing if you want to use them up. I LOVE celeriac.

Haggis, neeps (spiced fritters) and tatties (mash) here with whisky sauce. Spare whisky for a wee drinkie.

Quick cranachan for pud. Maybe another whisky.

Do you have a recipe for the neep fritters? I always have trouble using up leftovers. Ty

Doing dry January. DD and I have just discussed "cheating" for Burns Night and having a sip of whisky. She was pretty sure doing anything else would be an insult to Rabbie.

I think you are on v safe territory here. I am Irish and St Patrick's day falls during lent, but it it is pretty much law that lenten promises are all off for St Patrick's day.

I made the standard neeps, mince and tatties fare. Polished off with a whisky.
