Friday night is a ripe night for a ceili to celebrate Burns’ Night! The evening itself is held dear in Scotland where the poetry of Robert Burns is celebrated in homes or restaurants with traditional Scottish food and folk music – as well as readings.
Haggis with ‘neeps and tatties’ (turnip and potato) is a traditional main course and classic Scottish cranachan is favourite dessert option. This mix of crunchy oats, cream, whisky and raspberries brings together several Scottish flavours. But here is a healthier take on the pudding which you could even have for breakfast!
