An easy guide to throwing a Burns Night celebration (2024)

Many have tried (and failed!) haggis hunting out in the wild. Luckily, you’ll find a range of haggis options in the supermarkets, from traditional to vegetarian and even bite-sized bon bons.

Whichever option you choose, neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes) are normally served alongside the haggis as the main meal.

Serving food ‘buffet-style' saves you the hassle of serving up and helps to make sure people only take what they can eat or the foods they like. This means less plate waste going into the bin and ensures leftovers remain in perfect condition to be stored and eaten later.

A traditional Scottish pudding such as Clootie Dumpling, Cranachan or Selkirk Bannock served with a wee dram of whisky completes the meal.

If you find yourself with leftovers, mashed potato makes great tattie scones for the morning after. Or try your hand at these three alternative haggis recipes.

Burns Night celebrations often end with some ceilidh dancing and a rendition of Auld Lang Syne to round off the evening. How are you celebrating Burns Night this year? Tag @HowToWasteLess in your posts and tips on Instagram.
