A local Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) sushi chain is offering a Scottish Box for Burns Night containing: Samba Smocked [sic] Salmon maki, Samba Fish & Crisps (a maki made with a battered fish piece), Dram sushi (the salmon is flambéed in scotch), and a salad made with salmon, red cabbage, Granny Smith apple, carrot, spring onion, lemon and olive oil.
Marketing atrocity or genius? Frankenstein food or clever pairings? Disrespectful or not?

RaeLovesToRead Haha, I'd give it a try 😄 2y
SamAnne You must try and report back! 2y
Dilara @RaeLovesToRead @SamAnne I'll definitely report if I do try it, but the jury's still out as to whether using our hard-earned cash on this is a good idea 🤔. It looks like it's very dependent on hunger levels... 2y

RaeLovesToRead I'm disappointed there is no haggis Maki... 2y
SamAnne @RaeLovesToRead right? Can‘t even take it seriously!! 🤣. @Dilara can‘t argue! 2y
Dilara @SamAnne @RaeLovesToRead So are we! A sushi made with haggis instead of rice, and a dollop of neeps & tatties on top, or maybe the other way round? 2y

#Haunted @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

There was not a prompt for the 24th; therefore, I decided to post an excerpt from "Halloween" an epic poem by Robert's Burns.

Read the whole poem here: https://sdhighlandgames.org/halloween-by-robert-burns-english-translation/

To everyone celebrating: Here's wishing you a lovely Burns Supper!
We'll celebrate by eating haggis with neeps and tatties. And I ordered everyone to recite a poem or song 😊
Drink a dram today to the great Scottish poet! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!”
