How to Host an Easy Vegan-Vegetarian Burns Night
Alongside your “haggis” you’ll also want to serve neaps and tatties—or mashed potatoes and turnips, for those unschooled in the Scottish dialect. (Those unfamiliar with the Scottish dialect will find Robert Burns’s poetry confusing; here’s a sample: “Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, / Great chieftain o’ the puddin-race! / Aboon them a’ ye tak your place, / Painch, tripe, or thairm: / Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace / As lang’s my arm.”) This, of course, is easy: you just buy as many of each as you desire, peel the turnips, boil them in pots, then add soy or almond or whatever milk plus 100 percent vegetable oil margarine.
