Something Delicious

Served with neeps and tatties (that's swede and mashed taters), along with a wee dram of a fine Speyside or some such, it's de rigueur on that night. I believe the only dessert to have would be Cranachan

For those who don't do the ole Scotty malts anymore or prefer not to have them, a glass of Irn Bru is quite traditional also

Greetings Daktari, How interesting a celebration. Very nice. Thank you for sharing this with us.

How would you describe Irn Bru?

Scotch Malts are the finest for those that indulge. Sounds like an occasion to explore some Scottish culture, something that the golf community all around me does regularly with the game.

There is a soda I have tried with the same name "Irn bru", it was delicious. The scot in me is all fired up!

Hmmm! How to describe Irn Bru to the un-initiated? Lurid orangey coloured, sugary, fizzy pop. I have no idea how to convey the flavour. There is no comparison. It's not to my taste, although I have been known to throw a glass or two down when in Scotty Land and there's nothing else acceptable available. When in Roma an' all that.

Wuss! It's delish. In fact I've just eaten half a haggis all to myself. Yum!

Aye, Irn Bru (Made in Scortl'nd frrum gerrrdurs!) is what you lot call soda. You thought it was delicious? Have you booked you tastebuds in for an overhaul recently?

It probaby isn't even similar in taste. This tasted like pepsi & dr. pepper.

As I said, Irn Bru is almost unclassifiable. If I said like old school Tizer that wouldn't help matters would it? I don't think it helps that I can't describe the smell for you. Smells seem to convey much to other folks. Sadly they're lost on me because I was born anosmic.

I'm not a lover of (soda) pop anymore; my dentist almost insisted I give up coke and pepsi type drinks 20 years ago.

When I was kid we loved Dandelion and Burdock fizzy pop. Do/Did you lot have anything like that?

I have had Irn Bru, Tizer and Danelion & burdock in Canada! Haha. The D&B I've had it while eating English style Fish and chips. It has a very unique taste, I can say this much. Licorice and a little hint of ginger maybe? - not sure about what you have had?

Canada and the UK tend to share products. Thank you for your post!
I rely a lot on my senses, it seems to be how I process things. At least that's what I've been told
