Burns night menu
Eleanor_Rigby
07-01-2013
hi all, I'm trying 2 come up with simple but impressive Burns night menu for 4 (no haggis as I'm having that the next night at Ma&pa's)
I've decided on cranachan for dessert and toying with scotch eggs with mustard sauce to start, any ideas for a Scottish themed main? Maybe salmon?
Thanks in advance

Arbroath Smokie fishcakes instead of salmon perhaps? Or a whisky sauce to go with beef or game.

cranachan is horrible

you must have haggis starter, if not main course, irrespective of what you are having at your mums, surely.

I also think that haggis should be served as a starter. Then salmon as a main course. I would serve Tipsy Laird for pudding (Trifle with raspberries and whisky). I don't like cranachan and I don't others like it either!

I had haggis for the first time in Edinburgh last year. It was a starter and was made in to a little pattie/burger with a small scoop of neeps n tatties.


How about langoustines? Very Scottish.

Agree about maybe having haggis at the starter - maybe some kind of balls or bhajis?

I agree with having an haggis starter. How about combining with your scotch egg idea. This recipe for haggis scotch eggs with mustard mayo sounds good.

One that i used to have at a local hotel was:
Cock a leekie soup to start,a small dish of haggis,neeps and tatties after that. Then roast beef etc followed by cranachan.
Good but a lot of food!

Cant see the point of doing a burns night without haggis.

I spotted this - Venison with a whisky & haggis sauce - so you still get haggis but only in the sauce
