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.
