Every January 25th the Scots celebrate the poet Robert Burns by eating Haggis, neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes) and drinking lots of whisky. Burns wrote a lighthearted poem called "Ode to the Haggis", and the night which uses the poem as part of a traditional procession to commemorate Burns has been celebrated for over 200 years. And while this dinner may not look very appetizing, it tastes amazing.
We decided to join in the celebration and made our own Burns night dinner. The haggis went down with success, however we still have not grown accustomed to the taste of whisky.
