In the past, Burns Night suppers have been a turn-off for vegetarians. But things are changing. Most hotels and restaurants now include veggie options on their Burns Night menus - often featuring the famous vegetarian haggis from Macsween.
Of course, you can also make a vegetarian haggis at home, as this recipe demonstrates.
If you're thinking of organising your own Burns Night event, take a look at my article Yes, you CAN have a vegetarian Burns Night supper. It gives suggestions for the menu, as well as advice on the music, speeches and ritual.
For a more complete guide to organising a Burns Night supper, I can recommend Hugh Douglas's Burns Supper Companion. It's an excellent guide to all aspects of the celebration - veggie or otherwise.
Whatever your plans for celebrating the 25th January, I hope you enjoy your evening as much as I will mine.

I got this recipe from veg-world last year, and made it to bring along to a burns night supper with friends. All my meat-eating friends agreed it was absolutely delicious!
Hi Ruth,
I'm delighted you and your friends liked my haggis recipe. It's particularly pleasing to hear about meat-eaters enjoying a vegetarian dish.
