This week would normally be a round of Burns' Suppers but that hasn't happened since 2020. However daughter brought me a selection of goodies from the Scottish Bakery for my dinner tonight - some haggis, a meat pie and peas (not mushy peas, no one likes them in our family). I will make my own 'neeps and tatties and it will be just like old times!
Hope you enjoyed you dinner, haggis for me! no thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would eat it more often but I know it's not very healthy!
DeleteThis is something I have not heard of. Is it a tradition in your part of the world or just in your family?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are lots of Scots in Melbourne who were doing the very same thing this week. It's a world-wide tradition for Scots.
DeleteGlad you were able to celebrate in a fashion. I'm with you are the mushy peas - a hard no in this house too!
ReplyDeleteYes, better than nothing. I even recited the Selkirk Grace (which Burns wrote) before I ate.
Delete"Some hae meat and canna eat, some wad eat but want it.
We hae meat and we can eat, so may the laird be thankit!"
The only food I didn't care for in the UK when we visited was the mushy peas. I am glad you got to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Well, in truth, it wasn't much of a celebration - just a reminder of how things used to be before Covid!
