St Andrew’s day at Bonnie and Wild
Yesterday was St Andrew’s Day—and if that isn’t a reason to deep fry mars bars, use Irn Bru as a feasible cooking ingredient and persuade a piper to come blow his pipes in a requisitioned eel and pie shop, then I don’t know what is.
With that in mind, I shotgunned a shift at Bonnie & Wild in the knowledge that they’d be indulging in all of the above and far, far more.
I wasn’t the only one who’d worked out that this was the place to be to celebrate good ol’ St Andrew—there were about 100 tartan-clad diners crammed into M.Manzes, gorging themselves on Scottish specialties like cullen skink, venison and haggis. Many thanks to everyone for a great night’s cooking - hope everyone who ate enjoyed the evening as much as I did…

This looks AMAZING. Just reading your post has made me super hungry, and I’m literally just finished lunch. Damn you and your photos of gooey mars bar-y goodness… (And damn my country for being such a hive of culinary genius (?!)).
Ooh just look at those deep fried mars bars! So ugly and yet so beautiful Reading this post has made me very hungry indeed.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! I absolutely LOVE Cullen Skink! I wish we could get proper Finnan Haddie over here in Norway so I could make it!
