”Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”
― Robert Burns
Its Burns Night here in Scotland, where we celebrate the poetry of Rabbie Burns with some Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, all washed down with a wee dram of Whisky (or you could just ignore the poetry and get stuck into the whisky!)
This year instead of just loading up the plate with a big slab of haggis, my brother-in-law kindly took charge and did something slightly different. He made filo wrapped haggis, which was really tasty. In this case it was veggie haggis as I don’t eat the real thing!
