EP 11: "Burns Suppers and Haggis" with Rosalind Erskine from The Scotsman

63 Percent Scottish: A Scotland Appreciation Podcast

Jan 9 2024 • 18 mins

Do Scottish people actually like haggis? Or is it just another Deep Fried Mars Bar - a sort of tourism trick to get attention?

We asked an expert, Rosalind Erskine. She's the Food and Drink Editor at the Scotsman, one of Scotland's national newspapers, and the host of Scran, a podcast all about Scottish food. We covered:

  • The prevalence of haggis consumption in Scotland
  • The various types of haggis available
  • The occasion necessary to consume haggis

Then we moved on to a quiz - asking Rosalind the five quickfire questions she asks her guests. But, before all that, Eamon provided a quick 101 on Burns Suppers.
