EDMONTON The birthday of Scotland’s favourite bard, Robbie Burns, is celebrated every Jan. 25 by those of Scottish descent, and many others who wish for the day they were. Traditionally, the main event is a Burns Supper. A party brimming with readings from his legendary canon, highland music, a dram or two of Scotch and a meal centred around the venerable haggis. Like everything else in a pandemic world, such large events are off, but that hasn’t quelled cravings some have for the delicacy.
Richard Toll’s local business Celtic Kitchen has been growing its clientele for seven years, and this year’s home-based demand forced him to ramp up production.
