“Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments,
embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour.” – John Boswell
There’s no doubt
about it. Scotland does winter food remarkably well. It’s very likely this is
to do with the often bitterly cold climate, the not so hot summer days and the
harshest of winter winds.
To help fight back
from these dismal days we use hot and hearty recipes… and boy do we have those in
abundance!
From the Scottish
favourite of mince and tatties to a thick Scotch broth these winter warmers are
bound to put the colour back in your cheeks. Our current favourite however has
to be haggis stovies.
So sit back, get
your stove ready… and enjoy this recipe for delicious haggis stovies to help
warm you up on a cold winter night.
