When it is about St. Andrew’s Day food or cuisine, incorporate traditional Scottish dishes and ingredients to create a festive and flavorful menu. Here we discussed some classic Scottish dishes that you can consider:
Haggis is a traditional Scottish meal made from lamb offal (heart, liver, and lungs), seasoned with onions, suet, spices, and oatmeal, all wrapped around the belly of the lamb.
One story says that in the 9th Century, King Angus in Scotland was preparing for a battle against the English.
St Andrew was a Galilean fisherman and disciple of Jesus. Not, at first glance, the most obvious patron saint of Scotland.
The legendary connection is provided by the journey of Regulus, a monk inspired by a vision to take some relics of St Andrew to the ‘ends of the Earth’.
His voyage took him to Fife and the town that bears St Andrew’s name to this day, complete with a grotesque collection of body parts: a kneecap, an upper arm bone, three fingers and a tooth.
As for the St Andrew’s Cross – the Saltire on the Scottish flag – this is a reference to the diagonal cross on which St Andrew was crucified by the Romans in Patras, Greece.
But it isn’t just the Scots who will be celebrating on the day: St Andrew is the patron saint of countries as diverse as Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Barbados. He is also the patron saint of fishermen, ropemakers, gout sufferers and – of course – golfers.
St Andrew appeared to King Angus in a dream promising him victory and on the day of the battle, an X symbol appeared in the sky, which was the symbol of St Andrew.
He vowed that if they won, St Andrew would be made the patron saint of Scotland – and that is exactly what happened.
Normally, celebrations might include a special type of party called a ceilidh – pronounced “kay-lee” – where people do Scottish country dancing.
But, traditional food can still be eaten, such as cullen skink – which is a type of fish soup – or lamb.
People also eat Scottish foods like haggis, porridge and black pudding.
