"But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer, gie her a Haggis!"
It was Burns Night a few days ago, which is a cultural holiday here in Scotland to celebrate the birthday of poet Robert Burns. You may be familiar with his well-known poem Auld Lang Syne. Classic. In other Scottish news, I was lucky enough to attend a tasty lunch made by chef Mark Greenaway put on by the country's leading rapeseed oil producers.The lunch focused on the versatility of the oil and its clean flavor profile. Although there is much contraversy around the product in terms of sustainability, neonicotinoid use, and health claims, it still stands as an oil that can be produced locally, which at the very least reduces its carbon footprint. Just in case you were wondering, rapeseed oil and canola oil are the same thing. Cold-pressed rapeseed oil is considered the best and least refined.

The extra little sweets that came with coffee were apple jellies and passion fruit filled dark chocolate with sea salt. I also walked away with some nice swag to test out. The truffle one will definitely be used for popcorn and I'm thinking the garlic and chili ones might make some nice mayonnaise.
