Food for Thought on St Andrew's Day

Scottish food on St Andrew’s Day 

On St Andrew's Day, a national holiday in Scotland, you are sure to find rich cultural feasts, where some of Scotland’s most classic fare is being prepared and shared.

From Cullen skink, a satisfyingly rich, creamy soup made with smoked haddock to our beloved haggis, traditionally served with mashed potatoes (locally referred to as ‘tatties’), turnips (known as ‘neeps’) topped off with a delicious whisky sauce.

Throughout Scotland, from tiny pubs tucked away in the Highlands to fine dining eateries in the bustling capital of Edinburgh, you’ll find chefs and cooks experimenting with recipes, reworking old favourites to bridge the gap between the past and the present. 

In recent times vegetarian haggis, made with organic sustainably farmed ingredients, is fast becoming a staple.
