We have a double feature this week! On Thursday it’s the Scottish Holiday of Burns Night and Friday is Australia Day.
Burns Night is traditionally held on or near the Scottish Poets birthday, the 25 January, and is a celebration of the Poet’s life and works. Traditional meals on Burns night, known as a Burns Supper, feature traditional Scottish foods of Haggis, Neeps (Turnips or Swede) and Tatties (Potatoes). We’ve incorporated these into our menu this week with pies made with Traditional or Vegetarian Haggis and Chicken Balmoral. The Soup is Cullen Skink, a traditional Scottish Soup made with Smoked Haddock, Leeks and Potatoes
Following Burns Night we’re hop-skip-jumping to the other side of the world to feature Australia Day. January 26 is marked as the day the British fleet the ‘First Fleet’ arrived on Australia’s shores. Australia Day doesn’t have a traditional menu like Burns Night so we’re adding some Australian flavours to our menu, such as Vegemite Pork Loin Steak, Veggie Sausage Rolls and BBQ chicken as well as showcasing sides with Avocado, Beetroot, Sweet Potato and Sweetcorn.
