Burns Night Saturday

[joggerjayne]

Burn's Night falls on a Saturday this year. How jolly is that. Will we get an AB logo?

Slap shot - do you sit in the middle of a field with binoculars looking for clouds? Is there always someone on duty? You had better watch out - Stewey may be crossing your field on the way to his pub. :-)

Didn't realise the grammar police started this early

[Slapshot]

Yeah, we're 24/7 weather doesn't stop so neither do we.

I'm a veggie but I've got my veggie haggis all ready and I'm good to go. Must have the neeps and tatties too though.

[jeffa]

MacSween do excellent vegetarian haggis.

[Slapshot]

The Mess did something quite subtle with the Haggis last night a small tart with Haggis, neeps and mash layered on top with a cream whisky sauce. Not really my taste, I prefer a nice strong flavoured Haggis but it was nice

[jeffa]

Yeah, a proper haggis cooked in the traditional way is delicious.

[janbee]

Jeffa, yes MacSween does excellent haggis but Crombies in Broughton Street is even better.

[jeffa]

Janbee, they do indeed, and that's where I usually get mine from.

[Slapshot]

Wynnes butchers in Fort William or not sure if it's still there Williamsons in Ayr was always superb

[murraymints]

Crombies also do the bestest pies in the universe !

[jeffa]

Plus, once you've bought your haggis, you can nip over the road and book a table in L'Escargot Bleu one of my favourite French restaurants in Scotland.

yup- a Burns Supper Night for us too in the C of A- Ulster/Scots folks here-
local farmshop brings in the haggis frae a butcher in Dumfries (award winning ,,,apparently)--great stuff it is too

[boxtops]

We're still trying to find a gluten free one, short of paying £10 extra delivery charge to buy a single one by mail, we're a bit stuffed (unlike the haggis...)
