It Burns!

Tonight is burns night. This, in case you are unsure, is the annual celebration of the Rabbie "The Baird" Burns and his works. The traditional food to be eaten on this occasion is haggis, neeps and tatties. Unfortunately I'm not much of a fan of my adopted nation's national dish. Happily, there's a vegetarian alternative available and it's damn tasty.

Previous years have involved me working at The Edinburgh University Jewish Society's annual Rabbi Burns Ball* and getting together with groups of friends of various sizes. This year was just a quiet one in the flat with my good lady, however. We did make the food a little fancy, however:

Now if you'll excuse me I've just remembered that I'm also supposed to have a whisky.

* Boom boom!
