Burns Night

I'm not aware of any strong connection between Ilkeston and Scotland but I have heard of Burns Night celebrations in our town previously. Today I spotted a poster in the shop window of Truly Scrumptious on South Street where haggis were on sale.


I can't say that haggis is something I've ever tasted but now that it is available locally I suppose there's always the possibility I could try it in the future. And according to the news last week our American friends will be able to taste it too as import regulations on British meat are about to be relaxed. Whether that was in time for Burns Night today I'm not sure but haggis should be freely available in the States next year. It'll go down well with a drop of Scotch!
