Haggis for dinner tonight!

Today is the 25th of January - and every Scotsman and visitor to Scottland knows that date. Burns Night.

To memorate Robert Burns, the Scottish poet who wrote a poem about Haggis (you can read more including a translation into modern day English here).

We did have haggis for dinner - unfortunately only a tin (you cannot get fresh Haggis in Germany, and from what I have heard it is even completely illegal in the US), but prepared with a creamy whisky sauce (using a dram of Talisker for the sauce). With it we had mash and (we did not have neeps) broccoli. And of course a wee dram.

Coffee Gallery London (near British Museum) has closed

Now - what is Coffee Gallery in London and why is it worth a blog entry?

The Coffee Gallery was me and my wifes favourite cafe in London. It was the place where you showed up once a year and were immediately recognized (I am not that often in London).

We made it a habit whenever you were in London to go there at least once. They had good coffee, great cakes and excellent organic food.

Last September however, the cafe was empty, closed, gone. No sign about what and why. So, dear readers, if you know what happened to the Coffee Gallery London (if there is more then one: it was near the British Museum) or where the employees work now just leave a comment.
