Burns Night: the celebration of Robert Burns birthday...or just an excuse to eat Haggis. :)

Oh my gosh. I went to that homepage. This is so funny! Everybody ought to read this. Just the paragraph headings for example:

Piping in the Haggis

Address to the Haggis

Toast to the Haggis

Actually this soup sounds good to me and easy to prepare. I could try this. I suppose 100g and 500g is like a half cup and a cup.

Cock-a-leekie soup

1 small chicken
8 soaked prunes: stones removed and saved
100g diced bacon
500g leeks: washed and thinly sliced
2 litres of water
1 teaspoon chopped tarragon
salt and pepper

Remove the skin from the chicken and place in a large pan, together with the bacon and prune stones. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Keep covered and simmer for two hours. Strain off the liquid, remove the stones and roughly chop the chicken. Add the chopped chicken, leeks, tarragon, salt and pepper to the liquid and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add prunes at the end of cooking time and serve.
