A taste of Scotland came to the OC on January 29, 2005. Guests were asked to 'dress Scottish' and were invited to a very participatory evening of food and festivities. Below is the evidence!

Finally, the haggis is stabbed!
(This year was more difficult as I
could not purchase a haggis at the
butcher, as I did last year in Scotland.
Though I did make it myself, I did leave
out some items, such as the windpipe,
heart, and other sheep inards...)
