Burns Night
Haggis, neeps and tatties
Now an annual tradition, at D&D last night our esteemed host Mark put on a fine spread of haggis, neeps and tatties.
Haggis, as you know are small tartan coloured animals that roam free in the rugged highlands of the North. Their little nasal wails and toots can be heard across the mountains from many miles away and are often hunted by toffs for their fur which is used to make kilts and their olfactory organs which make bagpipes. However this haggis was from a haggis farm near Dundee so a little more humane.
A haggis in the wild.
Neeps are better known as swede or turnip. And tatties are, as you might expect potatoes.
Desert was cranachan which had 4 shots of single malt whisky in it, just to raise the warmth in the atmosphere. Delicious! On previous years deep fried delicacies have been served but last night’s was probably the most decadent.
Finally toasts were made with pints of Irn Bru, poetry was read and gaming began. A happy tradition - Burns Night
