We had a superb Burns Night with our lovely neighbours Daniel and Noelle, listening to music by Eddie Reader, Eriskay Lilt and Andy Stewart.
After a glass of pink fizz and some olives and onions as an aperitif, we moved to the dining table and James said the Grace before the meal. We had prepared it in French too, so Daniel said Grace in French and then we all enjoyed traditional Cock-a-Leekie soup (I used an American recipe which was delicious), Bloody Mary Prawn Cocktails complete with vodka in the sauce, Haggis, Neeps and Tatties - we all had a drink of whisky from our Quaich, then we finished with Scottish cheese & Oatcakes and Tablet, Fudge, Macaroon and Shortbread. We were all very full after our meal and James decided to take a photo when I had my mouth full of Shortbread - thanks James!
Daniel and Noelle were very keen to come back next year, and the year after, and the year after that.....and they took their little menus away with them so that they could tell their children what they had to eat! We promised next year, James would bring his kilt from Scotland and wear it.
